Ugly things indeed, Mojca. And even more so given my limited skills.
Here is what I have for “H” with a breve accent below.
\def\Hbrevebelow{H\smash{\lower1.9ex\hbox{\kern-3pt\llap{\char'010}}}
\kern3pt}
This only “works” in an italic environment by the way.
With apologies to the wizards on this list,
Alan
