Hat/circumflex above letter in LibreOffice Writer


I would like to have arbitrary letters in normal text (not formula mode) with a hat/circumflex above it. For instance, it should look like this: Ĝ.

How can I achieve this in LibreOffice Writer?


Solution

  • The example character is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH CIRCUMFLEX, which decomposes into G and U+0302.

    So enter G, then go to Insert -> Special Character and search for U+302. Double-click to insert.

    For convenience, set up Keyman or MSKLC or even AutoHotkey to do this with a key combination such as Alt+6.
