I'm not sure what the exact situation is when it comes to combining diacritics. But I'm having trouble clicking on links to this entry, so is there something we can do to fix that? —CodeCat 20:14, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

We can use a dotted circle (◌̏), or its name (double grave accent). — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 20:35, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

On the French Wiktionary, ̏ redirects to the version with the dotted circle, presumably for this reason. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:26, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

I would support doing that here too. —CodeCat 14:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

But the dotted circle is only used in computing and nowhere else. I am not really happy with this. -- Liliana • 14:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Nor I. A redirect the other way would make more sense IMO: it would allow users to click (by displaying the redirecting form as a link), would ease things for editors (by linking directly to the redirecting form), and would not show the wrong character sequence in the L1 header.​—msh210℠ (talk) 15:35, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

It is only a header, though. It is only for display. The page titles are what people will actually be looking up. —CodeCat 17:45, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

This specific case has been resolved, in that the entry was deleted. - -sche (discuss) 16:45, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
