Special character for a long O?

(for pronunciation)

[pelican]

Hi all,

I'm trying to put a little comment on my site about how a word is pronounced and I need a character for the long O (the O with a flat hyphen on top) like you'd find in a dictionary. I've search high and low and can't find a special character for this....does anyone know of one?

Here's a link for numerical symbol codes [bbsinc.com]

hope that helps

Do you mean the O with a macron? I use ō for that.

try pressing the Alt Gr button + O

That should do what you need. It will add an accent to all the vowels: éúíóá

This is getting frustrating but I have to laugh too...looks like they have everything EXCEPT what I need...

the &#333 thing comes close...it is the right kind of mark (flat mark horizontal to page - not an accent) but it doesn't sit right over the O.

I've looked all over...it may not exist.

I know nothing about CSS but I found this on a Google group.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
SPAN.longvowel { text-decoration: overline }
</STYLE>

Here is a long <SPAN CLASS="longvowel">O</SPAN>
