Well, this may again be in the eye of the beholder, but
for your relief, I can tell you that there is actually no
decomposition equivalence specified for =D8
(for those, like me, who have problems viewing this, it
is an O with a / across it).

Nor is there, as said above, any such definition in Unicode.
But there is one for A-grave and similar things.
