have your planned wordplays ever failed because there doesn't exist a way to produce a character that you'd need?

[0x10f@tech.lgbt]

@Stoori Combining diacritics: A̋ a̋ (U+030B after the base letter).

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@0x10f i wish

[mira@outerheaven.club]

@Stoori@polyglot.city @0x10f@tech.lgbt it looks okay on my end...

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@mira @0x10f so unfair, you could make the wordplay that i can't do

[xarvos@outerheaven.club]

@Stoori@polyglot.city @mira @0x10f@tech.lgbt A̋ a̋Ő őŰ ű

does this look normal to you? pre-composed characters should avoid that glitch

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@xarvos @mira @0x10f i guess macos is insistent that there can't be a long ä marked that way in any language

[xarvos@outerheaven.club]

@Stoori@polyglot.city @0x10f@tech.lgbt @mira wait a min this isn't pre-composed, i assumed they are because i copied from wikipedia. maybe there isn't pre-composed ones…

[0x10f@tech.lgbt]

@Stoori @mira Maybe Ȁȁ or Ãã would be close enough?

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@0x10f @mira they seem to work, yea, but they're not the right letter

[xarvos@outerheaven.club]

@0x10f@tech.lgbt @Stoori@polyglot.city @mira ok how about this one https://unicodeplus.com/U+0151

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@xarvos @mira @0x10f that's ő and works as it should

@Stoori@polyglot.city @mira @0x10f@tech.lgbt i see <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://outerheaven.club/emoji/blobcat/blobcat_daradara.png" title=":blobcat_daradara:" />

[0x10f@tech.lgbt]

@Stoori @xarvos @mira I wonder if any of these happen to look like Aa with double acute on some browser. (They don't on mine.)
Ä̋ä̋ (Ää + combining double acute)
Á́á́ (Áá + combining single acute)
Á̋á̋ (Áá + combining double acute)
Ȧ̋ȧ̋ (Ȧȧ + combining double acute)

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@0x10f @xarvos @mira they get jumbled up, let's add some spaces to see them separately

Ä̋ ä̋
Á́ á́
Á̋ á̋
Ȧ̋ ȧ̋

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@0x10f @xarvos @mira quite a mess

[xarvos@outerheaven.club]

@Stoori@polyglot.city @0x10f@tech.lgbt @mira this is how you get zalgo <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://outerheaven.club/emoji/neofox/neofox_lul_256.png" title=":neofox_lul:" />

[xarvos@outerheaven.club]

@Stoori@polyglot.city @0x10f@tech.lgbt @mira here is how it looks from mine, which i think is fine but you probably can't stack another layer of accute accents without it throwing up

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@xarvos @mira @0x10f that renders so much better!

[0x10f@tech.lgbt]

@Stoori @xarvos @mira Some other letters with combining double acute (these all look correct to me):
ɑ̋ (Latin small alpha)
ᴀ̋ (Latin small capital A)
Α̋ (Greek)
А̋а̋ (Cyrillic)
Ꭺ̋ (Cherokee)
Ａ̋ａ̋ (fullwidth)

[stoori@polyglot.city]

@0x10f @xarvos @mira the cherokee one is the only one that looks close to being right. but that's just a capital letter, i guess there isn't an equivalent small letter in cherokee alphabet?
