AFAIK "diacritic" is the more specific term (a combining glyph which
modifies the pronunciation) which this implementation is (hopefully) not
limited to. At least in unicode all the combining glyphs are called
"[some possible group name] Combining <Something>". (Not sure a "Musical
Symbol Combining Stem" character counts as diacritic ;-) (then again
it's outside of the supported range ;p)
