Isn't that an example of using the wrong character that happens to have
the right glyph? That's a no-no, and in any case the breve problem
remains unsolved.

Dan is looking for COMBINING DOUBLE MACRON and COMBINING DOUBLE BREVE,
analogous to U+0360 through U+0362, and if I were Dan I'd be looking for
them too.
