Diacritical characters are displayed incompletely
I create fonts and need diacritical marks above or below letters for European fonts. When I copy the following text
́ ˘ ̧ ̒ ̋ ̏ ̀ ̌ ̦ ̊ ̄ · ̨ ̣ ̇ ̷ ̃ ̈ ^
from TextEdit (Mac) into Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1 (Mac), many of the characters disappear.
The problem does not occur in Affinity Designer. So please repair this bug, thanks.

I found out that combined diacritical characters are only displayed if there is a TAB, CR or FF in front of the character. Also, for many of the characters that are in the Unicode block U+0300 to U+036F, there are alternative separate characters. Unfortunately, Illustrator does not display these.
Therefore, I have now written a small Javscript that bypasses the problem. See https://www.behance.net/gallery/124447049/Javascript-for-Illustrator-ShowAnyGlyphs
