We publish data files, so that you need not guess.

Are we talking about combining marks per se, which include Indic-script
vowel signs, or are we talking about characters with non-zero
Canonical_Combining_Class?

Unicode 15, 16, and 17 added 135 characters with General_Category=M.
Unicode 15, 16, and 17 added 56 characters with ccc!=0. (These are a subset
of the above.)

Maybe you could ask your coworker to chime in and say what he is working
on, and maybe we can give some tips?
