Previously we searched for code points where the Unicode data file listed an equivalent combining character sequence that added accents. Some codepoints redirect to a single other codepoint, instead of doing any combining. We can follow those references recursively to get the answer. Per bug report #18362, which reported missing Ancient Greek characters. Specifically, precomposed characters with oxia (from the polytonic accent system used for old Greek) just point to precomposed characters with tonos (from the monotonic accent system for modern Greek), and we have to follow the extra hop to find out that they are composed with an acute accent. Besides those, the new rule also: * pulls in a lot of 'Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols', which are copies of the Latin and Greek alphabets and numbers rendered in different typefaces, and * corrects a single mathematical letter that previously came from the CLDR transliteration file, but the new rule extracts from the main Unicode database file, where clearly the latter is right and the former is a wrong (reported to CLDR).

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
