#' `ucp2label()` returns Unicode code point \dQuote{labels} as a character vector.
#' `ucp_sort()` sorts Unicode code points.
#' `is_combining_character()` returns `TRUE` if the character is a \dQuote{combining} character.
#'
#' @param x A character vector of Unicode code points.
#' @param decreasing If `TRUE` do a decreasing sort.
#' @return `ucp2label()` returns a character vector of Unicode labels.
#'         `ucp_sort()` returns a character vector of Unicode code points.
#'         `is_combining_character()` returns a logical vector.
#' @examples
#'   # Get the Unicode Code Point "label" for "R"
#'   ucp2label(str2ucp("R"))

#'   is_combining_character(str2ucp("a"))
#'   is_combining_character("U+0300") # COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
#' @seealso [block2ucp()], [hex2ucp()], [int2ucp()], [name2ucp()], [range2ucp()], and [str2ucp()]
#'           all return Unicode code points.
