The Roman characters with macron or breve are present in many Unicode fonts: in fact most combinations (Ā ā Ă ă Ē ē Ĕ ĕ Ī ī Ĭ ĭ Ō ō Ŏ ŏ Ū ū Ŭ ŭ) are present in a large number of system fonts; only in the case of ȳ and Ȳ is the character found in only a few fonts (like Lucida Grande and New Athena Unicode). To type these combinations, activate the US Extended input and type option-a for macron (or option-b for breve) before you type the vowel. Return to top of FAQ.
