  I’lll have to leave it up to antiques experts to tell you when objects were marked that way, but I can tell you it’s called a “hacek” (with the hat over the “c” and pronounced “hacheck”.) It is used to show that a “c” is pronounced as “ch” and an “s” as “sh.”

  In my efforts to get The House of Habsburg on line, I have discovered I don’t know how to add hacheck (spelling) accents to c’s for some of the town names in Czech. Does anyone know the code for this?

• 2011 November 22nd (8:20⁽¹⁾ and 8:51⁽²⁾ a.m.), “Shmuel Metz , Seymour J.”⁽¹⁾ and “Bill Fairchild”⁽²⁾ (user names), bit.listserv.ibm-main (Usenet newsgroup), “Re: Terminology”, Message IDs: <20111122160416.3B573F58088@smtp.patriot.net>⁽¹⁾ and <77142D37C0C3C34DA0D7B1DA7D7CA34333349D1E@nwt-s-mbx2.rocketsoftware.com>⁽²⁾

  ⁽¹⁾ An inverted circumflex[1] would look like a logical Or, not like a logical Not (¬), which is a horizontal segment and a shorter vertical segment.
  [1] It’s an accent in some languages and is called something like Hacheck. I know it best as the accent in Dvorak.

  ⁽²⁾ It’s the accent above the “r” in Dvořák. There is also an accent above the “a”. The word “hachek” (hacheck, or transliterated any other way one likes) is, of course, self-referentially spelled with a hachek in Czech — háček. I can only hope that all my diacritics survive the various email editors through which they pass.
