: Combining Unicode Characters in Illustrator I am trying to get Illustrator to display my unicode font correctly (i.e. the way every other program is displaying it). I am currently using the Noto

I honestly have no idea what's going on here. I can't get them to combine correctly from direct input at all but I could get them to combine correctly by pasting an ogonek directly before the dotless i... then two minutes later I try again and it doesn't work.

It's not ideal but as a workaround you can simply kern both glyphs to the correct position. Again, Illustrator is doing some weird things here; sometimes I can kern the glyphs (after inputing them directly after one another) with no problem and sometimes they're instantly combined and treated as a single character (although not visually)... So a workaround for the workaround; input the glyphs with a space between and kern from there.

So you input; ogonek + space + dotless i (the blue square is just the indicator for the space with "Show Hidden Characters" on):



And kern (I turned off "Show Hidden Characters" and placed a regular i+ogonek for reference):



Not ideal, but a workaround if you're really stuck and can't figure out a proper fix.
