MessageThat's interesting because both Oxford and Meriam-Webster report it as
an umlaut i, and one of them claims that it's the french spelling.
When I've checked in a book where the word was used, it was the i with the two
dots above it.
Never took french myself, just German and Latin and slept through both. <sigh>

Hi Kim,
The symbol you are looking for, though I have no idea how to make it, is a
circumflex. I took French in high school and college. Naive is a French word,
and the umlaut is not used in French. This i needs a circumflex. I looked in
the list that comes up with Insert-4 in JAWS, and they have i acute, though I
don't remember what that looks like in Braille. The only reason that matters
is that I learned French in Braille.
I have stayed out of this until now, because I couldn't remember what the
symbol was called, but now I remembered. I'm not very helpful, since I don't
know how to make it, but that is what it is.
Sandi

Hi, Cindy I think it's another word for that umlaut-like mark. I found the
word on a site where it was talking about French accent marks (they do seem to
have a lot of them). Regards, Kim.

If your computer has a number pad, make sure numlock is turned on. Hold
down the alt key, and press the following numbers: 0237.
