ATSUSetFontFeatures has little or nothing to do with the ability
to draw accented characters.

How do you declare and initialize myString?  It's not shown in the
code you posted.  However, you mention using UTF-8-encoded buffers,
so I wonder if you're converting those to UTF-16 before feeding them
to ATSUCreateTextLayoutWithTextPtr().

Works fine for me.  The second character is U+0300 COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT,
right?

They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely

ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
