The Unicode character code set defines a series of codes that enable you to combine diacritical marks, for example to type a letter and then put a dot over the letter. The code to place a dot above a letter is "0307." To put a dot over a letter in Word, type the letter, type "0307" and press "Alt-X" to invoke the diacritical combination.
