You can't. This is different from character composing where ê (e circumflex) is
different from e for example. It's only a viewing problem and must remain so
because moving the problem at the data layer would make it zillions times more
complex. Conceptually the letters are still different and seperate, let's say
it's a problem related to 'drawing' these two letters when they follow each
other only, whereas the random character access must not change, string
comparisons must not change, etc...
