This cluster value is an arbitrary number; HarfBuzz uses it only

the index of each code point in the input text stream as the

Level 1 differs from level 0 by not merging the
clusters of marks and other modifier code points with the
preceding "base" code point's cluster. By preserving the
cluster values of these marks and modifier code points,
script shaping can perform additional operations that might
lead to improved results (for example, reordering a sequence
of marks).
