How am I supposed to input o + " in Open Office in a way that the
program combines them to ö ?

Anyway, if possible, I do suppose that OO will internally store the
result as a single Unicode character.

I even suppose that OO internally (in memory and with its native file
formats) does not use multi-character Unicode surrogates.

So the problem only arises with file import.

Somebody might want to try and hack an OO document file and replace a ö
by a o + " surrogate pair and see what happens.
