Text with many diacritic marks are not displayed correctly in posts
When posting [this question](https://software.codidact.com/posts/281551), I noticed a difference between editor's preview and the post's final render.

When editing, the preview correctly shows the Zalgo Text:

<img src="https://software.codidact.com/uploads/NfnCh12Ub1Qk9wPHMEzmvU2t" style="border: 1px solid gray">

But after the post is saved, it's rendered in the browser like this:

<img src="https://software.codidact.com/uploads/gxCzDXszaKZkARa3bTCzuCB3" style="border: 1px solid gray">

Note that part of the text (the diacritics at the top and bottom) is not displayed.

I've tested in the following OS's/browsers, and the problem occurs in all of them:

- Windows 10 Home 64 bits: Chrome 90.0.4430.93, Firefox 88.0 and Edge 90.0.818.49
- iPhone 8/iOS 14.4.2: Chrome 87.0.4280.163 and Safari
- MacOS Catalina 10.15.7: Chrome 90.0.4430.93, Safari 14.0.3 and Firefox 88.0
