Issue

The Greek diacritics U+0300 COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT, U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT, U+0313 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE, and U+0314 COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE are missing from Noto Sans Elbasan. They are used seemingly decoratively on vowels in the Elbasan Gospel Manuscript. As in Greek, the combination of a breathing mark and an accent is written from left to right, not from bottom to top. The acute accent is generally not centered, but written to the right, often so far right it is centered between the base and the next letter.

Using the Noto Sans combining accents for these looks horrible, so we would need to commision new drawing.
