I'm sorry, but I don't understand this.

I'll try this, as the two dots are the desired outcome. Can they be placed
_underneath_ a character??

I considered my question to be similar to, but not identical to, the
original, and so kept it at the top as essentially a "new" question spawned
by an old one. Hence the changed Subject: line as well...
In retrospect it certainly makes no sense to quote the entire original

I'll keep trying. Thank you for your help, Andre'! :)
