typing diaresis underneath letter

[Alexander Trotter]

Hello all,

I am working on a book with Perso-Arab diacritical marks. One of them, a lowercase "t" with two dots underneath, I cannot locate in the Unicode character map. I see that there is a character for an under-diaresis (U+0324), but I can't figure out exactly how to couple that with a letter. Has anyone worked with this before?

Many thanks,

It's what's known as a "combining"  character. You type the letter you want to modify, and then the Unicode for the diacritic. If you are working in SKY Index or Word, do this: type t0324 then press Alt+x and you get  t̤ (a lower-case t with two dots underneath). (Note that using Alt-x to convert a Unicode into a character doesn't work with all programs so you may have to use whatever your software supports to create Unicode characters, or you could maybe paste from Word.)

Yes, that indeed does the trick. I didn't realize it was that simple. Thanks again.
