Just so there is no confusion: If the "new character" you are proposing is a Greek lowercase nu with a macron above, then it will not ever be approved in Unicode, because it can already be represented with the sequence U+03BD U+0304. If you are having problems getting this sequence to display properly in browsers, see: http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html In general you will achieve your goals much faster by waiting for browser and display-engine technology to improve so that combining diacritics are displayed correctly than by proposing new precomposed characters and (even if they were approved) waiting for "the most common" general-purpose fonts to be updated to include them. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
