Kemrese typewriters, I am sure, have a key that
makes "^" over a letter, cos it's so common in
Brithenig. There is one for dot above as well, as
the Dumnonians and Irish can muddle along with
it. Fancier ones probably have accents acute and
grave as well, as separate characters if not as
dead keys.
