Do you mean (only fix in tyop in quote of my proposal):

<U+006A U+0301> "j́" and not <U+0237 U+0301> "ȷ́".

I just noticed that on bitmap fonts such as the command line, one still
sees the dot of the j or a j followed by a filled diamond shape.

So indeed there is some work on the rendering part. Attached is a new
patch with you improvement. Does anyone would like to have the reverse
order supported and/or dead keys supported for this?
