 The character is not the ANGSTROM SIGN, and the decomposition is to a starter <= U+7FFF and > 0x1F that cannot combine backwards followed by a non-starter <= U+7FFF and > 0x1F: The highest bit is 0. The second-highest bit is set according to its general semantics. The lowest 15 bits are the leading starter. The next 15 bits are the trailing non-starter.
