Both lines render identically here. I think the conclusion is that
the macOS text-shaping engine doesn't sort the combining characters
before rendering them, which is what shaping engines are expected to
do. However, I don't consider myself an expert on this, so maybe
raise this issue on some forum where the development of the macOS
shaper is discussed?
