I'm trying to create (or copy/paste) a circumflex over two letters in Greek
the letters are "ou" and the circumflex should go over BOTH letters. I can put it over one letter using a variety of methods but I'm unable to get it over both.
I remember this was a "feature" of Quickdraw GX (i think that's what it was called?) but does it remain in Tiger?
I'm also curious. Why? All Greek texts I have seen have the circumflex over the upsilon and leave the omikron blank. Is it a typographic feature or some variant of Greek?
It is very much the same. Once I looked at the combining double inverted breve 0361 you reference above, it struck me that I may have seen accents over two characters in some circumstances in Greece, like handwritten shop signs, but I haven't been there for years, so it could be my imagination. They don't appear in any of my own Greek books, neither in modern nor classic Greek, neither in books printed in Greece nor abroad.
Anyhow, as Demetrios says it was supported by Quickdraw GX, I guess it is a purely typographic feature, like ligatures. In Greek, that is. Diacritics over several letters surely appear in other languages.
It would still be interesting to know under which circumstances it is used in Greek.
as usual... miscommunication problem on the part of the client & translator. circumflex only needs to be over the upsilon. sorry for the confusion but REALLY appreciate the attempted help!
