I don't believe so. Those combinations used in the most common 
orthographic languages have their own code points, but I understand you 
can use the combining chars with essentially any other chars, although 
it might not always make much sense to do so. That's important when 
you're inventing symbols in things like Mathematical and Scientific papers.
