How do put a straight line over an "o" such as in Roti Grille?

Unless there is something else out there that I am unaware of, Roti grill is an Indian cooking method.

Why the accent is needed I don't know, I was unaware it used one.

How do I get a straight line over a letter "o"

You don't really mean "straight line", do you, but rather ô ? If so, Niel gave you the answer.

If by chance you do mean straight line, like ō, then you need use the character palette or switch keyboard layouts to US Extended, where you type Option/alt + a, then o.

I guess that you want to type "Rôti grillé".
If I am right, you are writing French words and the uppercase at the beginning of the second word is an erroneous attribute.

One more time you read wrongly 😉

The OP wrote "*Roti Grille*" not "*Roti Grill*"
In French rôti requires the accent and grillé requires its accent too !

…and once again you haven't paid attention.

The O.P. is in Chicago.

Grill and grille are interchangeable in English. Particularly in America, the "e" is sometimes added to make it sound a little "fancier" like in "shoppe".

Roti is still an Indian term to my knowledge, not French.

P.

I am not a chef but my son, who is, works with many Indian and Sri Lankans, and Roti is Indian.

As your reference points out Rôti is french for roast, which is either +not grille+ or the combination of rôti grille +is redundant.+

Yvan was the one who suggested the rôti spelling, because being French that was what he is familiar with. However my guess is the O.P., being American, is really after the Indian roti, the bread.

As in Roti ( Hindi: रोटी; Marathi: पोळी; Urdu: روٹی; Dhivehi: ރޮށި ; Punjabi: ਰੋਟੀ; Tamil: ரொட்டி; Gujarati: રોટલી; Arabic: روتي; Thai: โรตี)

In which case, neither Rôti nor Rōti seems appropriate....

Press the Option and i keys, release them, and press o.

Why can't it be both, Peter?
