True. On the other hand, the sequence:
* U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A
* U+0308 COMBINING DIAERESIS
will render exactly the same glyph. The two forms are closely related:
U+00E4 is in NFC (normalization form canonical composition), U+0061
U+0308 is in NFD (normalization form canonical decomposition).
