The C forms (NFC and NFKC) do canonical composition and U+FDFA is a
compatibility composite. (BTW, makeunicodedata.py checks that maximum
decomposed length of a character is < 19, but it would be better if it
would compute and define a named constant, say MAXDLENGTH, to be used
instead of literal 20.)  As far as I (and a two-line script) can tell
the maximum length of a canonical decomposition of a character is 4.
