We should display the corresponding portion of the composite character
in reverse video, IMO.

For example, in this example from etc/HELLO:

           Здра́вствуйте

moving one notch forward from `р' (the 3rd letter) puts the cursor on
`а' and should display in reverse video only the lower part occupied
by `а', moving one more notch should display the `́' accent in reverse
video, thus showing something reminiscent of a small cursor up on the
accent.
