Description: Under Character Formatting > Font Effects, one can choose "character emphasis" from among the following: dot, circle, disk, and accent. These appear to be low resolution bitmaps, which are inappropriate for 2020. Additionally, the accent mark has a jagged, misformed shape. Furthermore, they render with many glitches in LO. Shapes change as you zoom in and out, such the the "disk" sometimes looks like a teardrop. Sometimes there are gaps in what should be solid lines. Altogether, they look terrible at most any zoom level. In principle this may be a separate issue, but I suspect that whatever is done to replace these with vector graphics or symbols from a font would also fix the rendering problems. These marks are not rendered correctly in print and PDF export, reported separately as bug 131751. Summary: only one mark is produced for an entire formatted character sequence.

Yes if possible, these should probably be replaced with Unicode combining diacritics.
