It is much better, thanks.  But there is still one small glitch: try
"C-u C-x =" on buffer position 872 in HELLO, and you will see that
U+0651 ARABIC SHADDA is displayed as an empty box.  By contrast, the
"Composed with" line displays the shadda correctly.  I think this is
because you display only a single character (by using 'aref'), whereas
combining characters need to be surrounded by TABs to display
correctly without combining with their neighbors.
