Changelog:
- Line duplicate (menu Edit) - in case when line isn"t selected, the cursor stay in same position as before in new line

Accented unicode char can be written as one char containing accent or as 2 chars - basic char followed by accent. These functions provide composition or decomposition of accented chars.
