An expanding canonical decomposition which is not a starter decomposition.

• Example: U+0344 combining greek dialytika tonos has an expanding canonical decomposition to the sequence . U+0344 is a non-starter, and the first character in its decomposition is a non-starter. Therefore, on two counts, U+0344 has a non-starter decomposition.
• Example: U+0F73 tibetan vowel sign ii has an expanding canonical decomposition to the sequence . The first character in that sequence is a non-starter. Therefore U+0F73 has a non-starter decomposition, even though U+0F73 is a Starter.
• As of the current version of the standard, there are no instances of the third possible situation: a non-starter character with an expanding canonical decomposition to a sequence whose first character is a Starter.
