It is a property of a field.  (Or a chunk of a field text.)  It is an 
HTML-like description of the text of a field that includes style and 
fonts and so on.

This particular problem can be addressed by setting the textFont of the 
field include the encoding "Japanese".  That forces the field to use 
unicode encoding for the entire field.  That way the modifier, the 
combining diaeresis, is kept with the modified character.
