Default Putting a hat over a consonant

Type the following:

EQ \o(ˆ,p)

Select what you just typed, press Ctrl+F9 to make a field out of it, and
press Alt+F9 to switch between display of field codes and field results.
You make the ˆ by pressing Alt+0136 (that is, press and hold the Alt
key, and type the numbers 0136 from your numeric keypad, not the number
keys on the top row of your keyboard). Looks okay with a lower-case p,
but not so good with an upper-case P.

If you need a hat over an upper-case P, then you can type Pˆ and then
experiment with multiple Advance fields to move the hat to the left and
above the P and then move the cursor back to a normal position after the
hat. In 12-point Times New Roman, you might try

P{ ADVANCE \l 5 \u 3 }ˆ{ ADVANCE \r 1 \d 3 }

If you often use this symbol, you can create an autotext or autocorrect
entry for it.
