Capital H with a hat (^) below it.

Post by jocom »

Hi,

Does anyone know how to format a capital H with a hat (^) below it?
I've tried it with the TIPA package:

Code: Select all

\textipa{\v*{H}}
but the H codes for a hooktop H in TIPA, so I don't get the desired result.

Does a straightforward (La)TeX command exist, that does such a thing?

Thanks,
jocom

With tipa, did you try:

Code: Select all

\textsubcircum{H}
?

See the tipa documentation, page 51.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
It's the same problem, as H still codes for a hooktop H instead of standard capital H.

Could you provide a minimal working example showing this behavior?

For me:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tipa}
\begin{document}
\textsubcircum{H}
\end{document}
generates the following output:
hcirc.png
hcirc.png (545 Bytes) Viewed 4378 times
Could there be something else in your document that explains the difference?

Another option uses the accents package but I don't think it looks as good.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{accents}
\newcommand{\Hundercirc}{\ensuremath{\underaccent{\hat}{\textrm{H}}}}
\begin{document}

\Hundercirc
\end{document}

Hi,

Thank you very much! It works.
I didn't understand you right in your previous post and used \textsubcircum inside the \textipa command, instead of plain.

This is great!

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting). You are not new to the forum so you should know that. Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.
