No. Vera has spacing modifier letters, which are non-combining. Please 
read the chapter 7 pdf of the unicode standard. The spacing modifier 
cahracters are in the range 0x02BF-0x02ff (Vera does have glyphs in this 
range) are independen and not combining. The combining diacritical marks 
are in general (some scripts have their own special range, like for 
example hebrew) in the range 0x300-0x036F and Vera has no glyphs in that 
range. Like you said - it is very easy to verify.
