Accent marks in Russian files

[javnik36]

Continuation of #1354

I ran the script that looks for combining diacritical marks from Combining Diacritical Marks Unicode Block in i18n files. My main purpose was to find out cases when single unicode character should be used instead of combination of 2 marks [letter+combining accent].

Example:

ę in Polish can be mistakenly written as [e+U+0328 combining ogonek]. Both cases look exactly the same > ę vs ę < but the latter is incorrect and may cause issues when editing/displaying.

Script found several accent marks in Russian files - I'm leaving output of the script for Russian natives to take a look and (maybe) do any action. According to my small research it looks like acute accent (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0301) may be used in Russian with combination with Cyrillic letters, but other combinations have their own glyphs, so they may be incorrect right now.

^ string may be truncated when (...) is written

Interpretation of the table:

и | U+0306 | (...)льшой | ru: tskc/10_dancing_mad.po | 126

In msgid number 126 of tskc/10_dancing_mad.po Russian .po file there is string like (...)льшой where и character is combined with U+0306 accent. This may be incorrect, because й character exists as separate unicode glyph OR U+0301 accent supposed to be used instead of U+0306.

Reference (all unicode accent from the table):

• acute accent U+0301 > probably correct use
• combining breve U+0306
• combining diaeresis U+0308
