Here is a way to get Revolution to render correctly:

   set the htmlText of field "field" to \
    format("<p><font face=\"Lucida Grande\" 
lang=\"ja\">n̈</font></p>")

Revolution tries to split the combining character from the n when 
unicodeText is set.  (I would guess this is a bug.  Revolution seems to 
confuse Unicode and Japanese.  Wanna submit it?)  The above method 
forces them to stay together.

Use this in your special key handler of your Boruca edit field:
   set the htmlText of field "field" to the htmlText of field "field" &\
    format("<font face=\"Lucida Grande\" 
lang=\"ja\">n̈<//font>")

This will add the character to the end of the field.  You might have to 
fiddle with that.
