Seems to me an elegant solution.

For me only the latter seems acceptable. Using COMBINING LATIN SMALL
LETTER R is a natural idea, but I feel uneasy using just EQUALS SIGN as
the base character. However in the lack of a better solution I can live
with it :-)

An alternative would be to use SMALL EQUALS SIGN, but looks like fonts
supporting it are rather rare.

I'm rather sure it is inherited from a character set used for the
round-trip test.
