A decomposable (a.k.a precomposed) character is a “character that is equivalent to a sequence of one or more other characters, according to the decomposition mappings found in the Unicode Character Database”. Characters with diacritics that modify the base character's shape (e.g. curl) or that are overlaid on the base character (e.g. stroke) are not decomposable. Most of the characters in the ligature table are not decomposable either. Gorobay (talk) 20:12, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of precomposed Latin characters in Unicode → ? – This is not a list of precomposed Latin characters in Unicode. I can’t think of a succinct title, but the current title is wrong. “Precomposed” and “decomposable” are inappropriate descriptions because they mean something specific in Unicode. Relisted.

My personal opinion is that the article should be nominated for deletion. I could not find any support for this table in the documentation at http://www.unicode.org. My guess is that the article, created in 2007 by an editor who is now indefinitely blocked, is original research. There is a risk that readers of Wikipedia will expect this table to be reliable and we will propagate misinformation. From what I can determine the content is not wildly wrong. There seem to be 741 Latin characters with diacritics in UnicodeData.txt, and if you count all the table entries here, there are several hundred characters. However 'not wildly wrong' is not enough to satisfy WP:V. EdJohnston (talk) 22:06, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
