btw, no need for squeezine as there are virtual commands for scaling; not for rotating
From your original CLD template:
local function topthing(characters,target,base,accent)
--    if not characters[target] then
         local data1 = characters[base]
         local data2 = characters[accent]
         if data1 and data2 then
             characters[target] = { -- "Ḥ"
                 height   = (data1.height or 0) + 0.5*(data2.height or 0),
                 depth    = data1.depth,
                 width    = data1.width,
                 unicode  = target,
                 commands = {
                     { "slot", 0, 0x048 },
                     { "left", 0.5*(data2.width  or 0) + 0.5*(data1.width  or 0) },
                     { "up",   0.5*(data2.height or 0) },
                     { "slot", 0, 0x2D9, },
                 },
             }
         end
--    end
end
a little lesson in efficiency attached
