Yaa, well. :-)  I could simply use |m| then.  I don't know...

Ok, I'll also try that, I think.  It currently confuses me because it
was |S| in Fukhian romanisation.

I though about that, too.

Because iso-8859-1 does not have them, I did not currently use it, but
in Unicode, it's U+1EF3.  There are:

00FD LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH ACUTE
00FF LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS
0177 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH CIRCUMFLEX
01B4 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK
0233 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH MACRON
1E8F LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DOT ABOVE
1E99 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH RING ABOVE
1EF3 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH GRAVE
1EF5 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DOT BELOW
1EF7 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE
1EF9 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH TILDE

I must check whether my browser can display them.  It is *very* *bad*
(tm) with Chinese Pinyin accents.  Aweful.  And I want it to look good
in my browser, of course. :-)
