First, type an x, then:

On Linux hold down Shift+Ctrl and type 304 (macron), then hit the
spacebar. Or try 305 (overline) or 35E (double macron). On Windows hold
down Alt and type the decimal equivalents of the above hex numbers,
preceded by a zero.

There are other possibilities in the Combining Diacriticals section of
any Unicode font. On both Linux and Windows the utility to view the
characters and paste them into your application is called Character
Map. So launch Character Map, change the View to Select by Unicode
Block, and then scroll to Combining Diacriticals. "Combining
Diacriticals" are characters that do not add a space, so it's like they
will overstrike the preceding character.
