Combinations
============

One of the steps that lead to this project, as detailed in :doc:`development`, is the search for a reference document,
showing how characters on a typewriter can be combined, to produce characters that are otherwise missing.

It would be amiss for me to document this project, without creating, and aiming to maintain such a list.

Divided into rough categories, I will list a name, show the relevant unicode character, and show the typed combination
and the components that constitute it.

Please note, unless an interesting specific use is found, characters with a strike or bar, are omitted.
These are simple to construct, combining a forward slash, minus sign, or equals sign with your character, for example:

.. glyphdecomposition:: O /
    :align: center

I will, however, give particular mention to the use of the apostrophe and quote keys, which may be used to
create accented letters.

.. glyphdecomposition:: a "
    :align: center
