Definitely a c acute and an o with a straight line over it.

I wonder if we're talking about a c cedilla. That's in the symbols list
in
Word, accessed through JAWS with Insert-4. Lots of the symbols are
there--though I don't remember that particular O.

Don't know about the c acute, but the o with a line over it is a macron.
There's a chart of special characters including the macrons in an article
in
Wikipedia on the Pali language. The problem is that those characters will
not reproduce in braille. There's a book on Bookshare containing Pali
words
with macrons in them, and those characters are blank in the brf version of
the book. So what came out is a book with numerous words with one or more
blank spaces in them where the vowells with macrons are supposed to be. It
doesn't make for a very pleasant reading experience. I am debating whether
to even bother with these diacritical marks. I've got some good books on
Buddhism here that contain these macrons, among other diacritical marks in
the Pali words, and I keep vacillating on whether to try to reproduce them
or not. The point is to communicate the content after all, and if the
braille translator is going to interfere with that, then I would just as
soon leave them out. On the other hand, I really want to reproduce books
as
faithfully as I can for Bookshare. So I don't know what I'm going to do
with
them.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Characters
I'm looking for two characters. One is an o with a straight line over it,
as
in a Japanese No play. The other is an c acute. I have checked an ascii
chart for the second, but I'm not sure that my software represents it. I
want to double check that. The o I have no idea what to search for.
Thanks.
