The unicode character is 035C. I am using Word 2007 with Windows XP. When I
type the character between the two letters, select it, and key in ALT x, I
get the box that indicates a missing symbol. I can't find the symbol in the
Arial Unicode MS set under IPA extensions, yet it is an IPA symbol and it
does have a unicode character. *Is there any way to make this work?\


It's not under "IPA extensions," it's under "Combining diacritical
marks" (you can tell from its code number -- when you select a
character in Insert Symbol, it shows you its number; just keep
scrolling till you come to it).

(If this appears twice, forgive me. I am new to this discussion and am
having some difficulty posting.)


See extended discussion of your previous posting.

Don't "select" the Unicode code, just type the four digits (on the
regular keyboard) and press Alt-X.
