Combining two characters or symbols

[Penny Cass]

Hi...

I would like to be able to combine two symbols, such as a circumflex (^) and
a rho (Ï), that is I'd like to put the circumflex over the rho. Is there
anyway to do this?

You can use an EQ \o (overstrike) field. For the general principles, see

Hi Penny,

BTW: Beware of the difference between the circumflex ˆ and the caret ^.

With a large Unicode font like Lucida Sans Unicode or Arial Unicode MS, you
can also try the combining diacritic U+0302 -- ÏÌ‚ -- which will probably
show as an empty box here.
