I'm trying to get the Unicode 'COMBINING DOT ABOVE'  character to
work.  This is used for the Newtonian shorthand notation for a time
derivative:

As far as I can tell, you would follow any unicode character with the
above character, and it should put the dot above it:
print(u"q\u0307")
should print q with a dot above it.  Other diacriticals seems to work,
for example, the 'COMBINING FERMATA':
print(u"q\u0352")
prints the q with a weird little fermata above it.

I tried python3 and it does the same thing, so it seems that perhaps
my terminal, or the font I'm using in my terminal, doesn't support
that particular character.  I am using Konsole in Kubuntu 9.04, with
the character encoding set to:  Unicode--> UTF-8.

Can anybody else get the 'COMBINING DOT ABOVE' character to work in
their terminals?
