Weird Symbol
I need a symbol which consists of a capital H and two dots above it. Does
anyone know where I can find this in Word 2003? I'm searching through the symbols now and I cannot seem to find this one. It's the beginning of someone's name. Thank you |

Weird Symbol
I don't find anything matching this description even in Arial Unicode MS.
What language is this person's name? You might have a look at Unicode glyphs 0124 and 0126 in case they're what you're looking for. Otherwise, you can add an umlaut to a H using the overstrike method described at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm (the umlaut is glyph 00A8). There doesn't seem to be a combining umlaut in the Combining Diacritical Marks character subset in ordinary Unicode fonts, but perhaps 02DD would approximate what you're looking for. Alternatively, there's a Combining Diaeresis at 0308 in Arial Unicode MS. -- Suzanne S.

Weird Symbol
What you are looking for is only available in Unicode fonts, such as Arial
Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, etc. The code for that character is 1E26 & you can get it from the InsertSymbol dialog box (if you have unicode fonts installed). -- HTH|:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Karen" wrote in message ...

In the Insert | Symbol dialog, select the Latin Extended-A character set and
select characters 0124 and 0126. But Bob has given you the answer you need (1E26). -- Suzanne S.
