It's called a macron. The easiest way I know of to get it is to use the U.S. Extended keyboard layout. (Look in the Input Menu under the International preferences pane.) Then, when you type a vowel, immediately type option+shift+A. This works in Unicode-aware applications and I don't know whether it works in older programs such as Appleworks. It does work in Mail, at least on this end. If you don't see vowels with macrons on them below, then Unicode gets broken somewhere along the way. a? e? i? o? u? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
