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.

Jens, what font was used for this?

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
