The output you get depends on the font as well, so I see no problem
here.

No, there's no bug in find-composition: it returns what we should pass
to the text shaper.  The problem here is that your code assumes all
the characters we passed to the shaper are a single grapheme cluster,
which is not true.

I suggest to look at the code which displays the "Composed with" line
and decides which characters to show there, and do the same in your
addition.

Thanks.
