In some instances a canonical mapping or a compatibility mapping
may consist of a single character. For a canonical mapping, this
indicates that the character is a canonical equivalent of another
single character. For a compatibility mapping, this indicates that
the character is a compatibility equivalent of another single
character.
A canonical mapping may also consist of a pair of characters, but
is never longer than two characters. When a canonical mapping
consists of a pair of characters, the first character may itself
be a character with a decomposition mapping, but the second
character never has a decomposition mapping.
We ignore the canonical decomposition for code points
matching certain substrings because the original translit_combining
file didn’t include these types of characters either. I am unsure
about the usefulness of including them and want to keep close
to the spirit of the original file for the moment.
