Unclear It is not clear which text this pattern is applied to.
What
Combining marks are characters that stack on top of the letter before them, such as accents. Claude Code changed a pattern that matches 32 or more of them in a row. The pattern now also covers the voicing marks used with halfwidth Japanese katakana.
Why
The likely purpose is to guard against "zalgo" text, where piles of stacked marks make text spill over and break the display.
