I'm afraid SC UniPad didn't do a very good job -- in your "decomposed"
version all the small letters with oxia (e.g. U+1F71 GREEK SMALL
LETTER ALPHA WITH OXIA in πράγμαθ') remain undecomposed.

I'm not sure what your "single click" is, but I guess you are
referring to the "Edit : Convert : Decompose Combinations" menu item
in UniPad. This does not produce Unicode-compliant decompositions.
Now, if you want something that will convert reliably between NFC,
NFD, NFKC and NFKD normalization forms, you should give BabelPad a
try.
