learned something on my mac

How to enter, say, ā

1. Go to "languages/preferences" whatever
2. In "input methods", add "unicode"
3. Select 'unicode' as input method, in the top right corner of your screen.
4. In your input field, say, type a, then press 'option' and type 0304, which is a diacritical mark for this strike above. Voilá.

The table of combining diacritical marks is here

Sometimes I easily input weird chars accidentally.
