Umlaut on a consonant letter

[Lynch, Jonathan]

I have a stack I use to figure out Unicode numbers for various symbols -
the one thing I found was that any use of Unicode in a field really
requires that the whole field be in Unicode. Otherwise, it gets
confused. Have others found this?

On OS X I tried using Unicode in Revolution by putting the combining 
diaeresis (0308) after an n.  The font was Lucinda Grande.  It didn't 
render as I expected; I only saw the n.  (It didn't even work after a 
u.)  I selected all, and copied the text, and then pasted it into 
TextEdit.  It rendered just fine.  Maybe there is a problem or 
limitation with the Revolution rendering.

You can use the imageSource property in Revolution once you have your 
Boruca editor field set up.

Or you might find the combination in some font and use that font, maybe 
just for that letter.

In Word, you might try overstrike in the equation editor.

(BTW, on and off I have a light interest in Ngobere, the language of 
the Guayme.)

After seeing my puny responses, others might have better ideas.
