We only used utf8proc to try to pre-compose a glyph from a base and
combining character.
We can do this ourselves by using a pre-compiled table of valid
pre-compositions. This table isn't _that_ big, and binary searching it
is fast.
That is, for a very small amount of code, and not too much extra RO
data, we can get rid of the utf8proc dependency.
This feature lets foot combine e.g. "a\u0301" to "á".
We first check if the current character (that we're about to print) is
a combining character, by checking if it's in one of the following
ranges:
* Combining Diacritical Marks (0300–036F), since version 1.0, with
modifications in subsequent versions down to 4.1
* Combining Diacritical Marks Extended (1AB0–1AFF), version 7.0
* Combining Diacritical Marks Supplement (1DC0–1DFF), versions 4.1 to 5.2
* Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols (20D0–20FF), since version
1.0, with modifications in subsequent versions down to 5.1
* Combining Half Marks (FE20–FE2F), versions 1.0, with modifications
in subsequent versions down to 8.0
If it is, we check if the last cell appears to contain a valid symbol,
and if so, we attempt to compose (combine) the last cell with the
current character, using utf8proc.
If the result is a combined character, we replace the content in the
previous cell with the new, combined character.
Thus, if you select and copy the printed character, you would get
e.g. "\u00e1" instead of "a\u0301".
This feature can be disabled. By default, it is enabled if the
utf8proc library is found, but can be explicitly disabled, or enabled,
with 'meson -Dunicode-combining=disabled|enabled'.
