        Actually, the "cap" symbol as far as I can tell is a separate entity in
LaTeX, and not an accent. (It's used for some mathematical operation.) Trying
to find out how to produce an inverted breve in LaTeX didn't seem turn much
up in Google, and apparently what is called an inverted breve in LaTeX is
closing set of double quotation marks at the bottom, rather than at the top.
(produced by \f). Strange...
