- 2009, Ian H. Witten, David Bainbridge, David M. Nichols, How to Build a Digital Library, 2nd edition, Morgan Kaufmann, →ISBN, page 383:
- For example, the middle letter of naïve could be represented using the combining character approach by U+0069 U+0308, or as a single, precomposed unit using the already prepared character U+00EF. Around 500 precomposed Latin letters, for instance, in the Unicode standard are superfluous, in that they can be represented using combining character sequences.
