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)Reply

We can use a dotted circle (◌̏), or its name (double grave accent). — Ungoliant (Falai) 20:35, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
On the French Wiktionary, ̏ redirects to the version with the dotted circle, presumably for this reason. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:26, 1 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
I would support doing that here too. —CodeCat 14:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply
This specific case has been resolved, in that the entry was deleted. - -sche (discuss) 16:45, 29 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
