You are right. In a way, I thought that the Modifier characters (x02B0 - x02FF) could also be used for "modifying" a certain character (I mentioned the macron and circumflex in an earlier post as 0x02C9 and 0x02C6, but these were wrong). They do include macron, diaeresis, circumflex etc. but as I understand now, these are not used for "modifying/combining letters" but for "modifying spacing" (i.e: quotes etc), and as a result do not influence normalization.
