Unfortunately, my symbols chart doesn't have a macron.
I could have used it when I validated Broken Trust; a
lot of Hawaiian words use it--and there was some
symbol that went under certain letters that I couldn't
use, either. I tried copying from a web site that
gives ll kinds of diacritical marks but they weren't
copyable.
