yes !
to be more concrete i want to be able to write in hebrew. In case you don't 
now hebrew is composed of letters and points that are the vowels. More over
you can had cantillation mark in the text to indicate how the text have to be
sing. The vowels are optionnal when you write in hebrew. 
So that mean you can represent an hebrew text using three strings: one for the
consonants, one for the vowels and one for the cantillation marks.
I did not find any unicode editor that allow to write hebrew with this
