So that's the reason why FrathWiki didn't let me enter ị̄
(i-macron with underdot) but always made ị̄ out of it (i
with macron *above* the dot and dot below). Muke, in case
you read this, could you *please* have a look at the
feature Benct described above?

I've seen đ instead of ð before, and also b or p for þ.
