             <cite>Martin Porter, "The apostrophe character," <a href="http://snowball.tartarus.org/texts/apostrophe.html">http://snowball.tartarus.org/texts/apostrophe.html</a></cite>
           <p>This additional paragraph contains a couple of other test items for the tokenizer, including a word containing a combining diaeresis (U+0308, for issue #164). For this we have invented a word which must use a combining diacritic rather than a precomposed character because the precomposed character does not exist; this helps to avoid inadvertent composition. The word puc̈ist is made up for this purpose, along with the word puq̈uist.</p>
             
+            <p>We also add here a test for the character U+A78F, the Latin Sinological Dot, which 
+            is supposed to be a letter character, so should not cause a word to be broken during
+            tokenization. This is the teꞏst.</p>
