It's simply there to illustrate that basic letterforms are often combined with diacritics. I do think it would be interesting to go into this in a little more depth and add examples for complex scripts but, given the late date and the informative nature of this section, I think this should wait until the next level. Any examples and/or illustrations you can provide in that regard would be most appreciated. Regards, John Daggett
