Weird Symbol

[Guest]

I need a symbol which consists of a capital H and two dots above it. Does
anyone know where I can find this in Word 2003? I'm searching through the
symbols now and I cannot seem to find this one. It's the beginning of
someone's name.

Thank you

I don't find anything matching this description even in Arial Unicode MS.
What language is this person's name?

You might have a look at Unicode glyphs 0124 and 0126 in case they're what
you're looking for. Otherwise, you can add an umlaut to a H using the
overstrike method described at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm (the umlaut is glyph 00A8).
There doesn't seem to be a combining umlaut in the Combining Diacritical
Marks character subset in ordinary Unicode fonts, but perhaps 02DD would
approximate what you're looking for. Alternatively, there's a Combining
Diaeresis at 0308 in Arial Unicode MS.

Thank you for your help - What do you mean by - "You might have a look at
Unicode glyphs 0124 and 0126"
Thank you

What you are looking for is only available in Unicode fonts, such as Arial
Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, etc. The code for that character is 1E26 &
you can get it from the Insert>Symbol dialog box (if you have unicode fonts
installed).

In the Insert | Symbol dialog, select the Latin Extended-A character set and
select characters 0124 and 0126. But Bob has given you the answer you need
(1E26).
