MS Office Forum / Word / Printing and Fonts / December 2004Special Character
A friend has asked if there is a character that is a c with what looks like two dots beneath the letter. Apparently it was used in handwriting in words like McIntosh, etc. but with the c in superscript. If there is, would you know where to find it and how to bring it into Word. Or, how to create that character. Thanks, Gordo I've never seen this written with dots under it. An underline is usual, and this is easy to achieve (a dotted underline could be used if desired). When an entire word is underlined, the underline on any superscript or raised character will be at the same level as the underline on the rest of the word, but if only the superscript or raised character is underlined, the underline will be directly under it.

The lady who asked for this is trying to emulate some 100 plus year old correspondence when transcribing the information and converting it into a journal written Word.

I have to say, I think it looks rather elegant (but probably too much trouble for regular use in modern text). SignatureSuzanne S.
