 Diacritic Information, Facts, Resources
Orthographic diacritics and multilingual computing, by J.C. Wells
Diacritics can be composed in most X Window Systems.
On computers it is also a matter of available codepages, whether you can use certain diacritics.

 Wells: Orthographic diacritics
In this article we discuss the various diacritics that are so used and the problems this has given rise to in a multilingual computing environment — problems now arguably on the way to a satisfactory solution through the adoption of the international standard known as Unicode.
For example, in Bamgboṣe 1966 the diacritic is printed as a dot in the serif font of the main text, but as a vertical line in the sans serif font of the examples.
We are moving from a time in which a diacritic was a problem to a time in which all things are possible.

 THDL: Fonts for Diacritics
Until recently, diacritic fonts were encoded in ASCII and required multiple font files or code pages to render the full range of diacritics.
All diacritics displayed on our web pages are encoded in Unicode and require the user has a suitable Unicode font installed.
The information provided here is a summary of information found at Alan Wood's Unicode fonts for Macintosh OS X computers.

 THDL Unicode Diacritics Macro
The macro assumes the use of a Unicode font, as only such fonts have the required characters and the macros writes the diacritics using Unicode encoding.
The macros assumes that an adequate Unicode font is installed in your system and has been selected for the document being used.
If it has mutliple diacritic glyphs, as in the case of n above, the program will prompt you for a choice in the status bar on the bottom left corner of the Word window:

 Character design standards - Diacritics
These typesetting systems used uppercase and lowercase diacritics that were on zero units with programmed logic for combining diacritics and base glyphs to make accent characters.
In some type manufacturer's proprietary font formats there were algorithms to create composite accented characters.
This is considered a starting point and visual adjustment is made dependent on the design.

 Middle dot
A middle dot is one of several types of dots that occur in the middle of a character space, such as the examples in the following table.
In mathematics, a small middle dot can be used to represent the product, for example x∙y for the product of x and y.
In British publications up to the mid-1970s, especially scientific and mathematical texts, the decimal point was commonly typeset as a middle dot.

 Re: U+0140
So we can see three different vertical positions for this middle-dot, and two are encoded: (1) centered at the middle of the x-height and baseline: this is the mathemical middle-dot symbol, because most mathematical variables are lowercase letters, making this position appropriate to note a multiplication.
However, this would require an update to the standard collation algorithm, which assumes that strings are fully normalized before proceeding.
This is basically the U+00B7 character which can also be used as a punctuation mark, notably in dictionnary entries.

k with a medial dot normally occurs only at the end of an Arabic word (in its long final form) and is distinguished from Hebrew words which have no diacritic in this position and represents x.
Letters with a diacritic are handled as follows:
g with a subscript dot is G. k with a superscript dot is x.

 The VIQR Convention
To prevent combination the character must be preceded by an escape character, which is usually the backslash (\) character.
The VIQR standard specifies that a character is interpreted as a diacritic if and only if it can combine with the previous letter into a legal Vietnamese character.
