Request for New Unicode

Question

We are working with a language that has long vowels which we can’t write with Odia letters. There are some books printed that have used a small line in the top of the letter where they need long sound. we are not able to type it neither we know the Unicode of it. please help

Answer 1

I have a question for you: Does this macron act like a typical vowel sign, like the stroke in ଆ/ା , or does it act like a secondary modifier that combines to other vowel letters and vowel signs also (say, does it combine to ଆ/ା, ଇ/ି, ଉ/ୁ, ଏ/େ…)?

If you would prefer to send me a direct message with your email address we could continue the discussion privately. That way you might be able to send me more samples of this character in use.

This macron act like a secondary modifier
ଅ is a short vowel and ଅ with a macron on the top is the long vowel likewise the following letters. The difficulty we are facing is we are unable to write ଅ with a macron on the top. this applies to all other alphabets. can you make a Unicode for this symbol in the inkey.
