People like to use flag diacritics for stuff. But they are bad because they are ugly and get in the way of stuff.
Alternative: Use distinct symbols with well defined behaviours and finite-state operations!
We have < and > for morphological tags, and { and } for archiphonemes and morphological features. We add a new type of symbol with [ and ] for modelling morphotactic restrictions.
