Note:Two characters were moved from the Greek and Coptic block to the Combining Diacritical Marks block in version 1.0.1 during the process of unifying with ISO 10646.[1] [2] [3]

Combining Diacritical Marks is a Unicode block containing the most common combining characters. It also contains the character "Combining Grapheme Joiner", which prevents canonical reordering of combining characters, and despite the name, actually separates characters that would otherwise be considered a single grapheme in a given context. Its block name in Unicode 1.0 was Generic Diacritical Marks.[4]
