The simplest example in a common language is (the French letter é) is
LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE [U+00E9]
which can also be written as
LATIN SMALL LETTER E [U+0065] followed by COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT [U+0301]
The former being a composed normal form, the latter a decomposed normal form. (And yes, it is even much more complicated than that, it goes on for 1000s of pages).
In the above example, the concept of character/string is indeed fuzzy.
