inverted circumflex

[Gord Dibben]

A circumflex over a letter looks like a pointy roof.

e.g. Â (alt + 0194)

What is the name of the inverted circumflex that looks like a "v"

e.g Ž (alt + 0142)

Thanks, Gord

A hacek or hácek ("?", pronounced HUH-check), also known as a caron, is a
diacritic placed over certain letters to indicate palatalization or jotation
in the orthography of some Slavic and Baltic languages.
The word hacek means "little hook" in Czech. It looks like an inverted
circumflex (^).

I'd call it an upside down circumflex. But you could call it a hacek or
caron.

Caron, possibly.

In word, open Insert Symbol. Navigate to combining diacritical marks/

Hi Gord,

It's called a hacek or a caron. See www.fact-index.com/h/ha/hacek.html
