    Strangely enough, the page
    http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0342/fontsupport.htm
    says that U+0342 is supported only by Lucida Sans Demibold and Lucida Sans
    Regular (which I don’t have, and my Lucida Sans Unicode doesn’t support it),
    but on my system, both Arial (version 5.01) and Arial Unicode MS contain it,
    as well as U+0345.

    Disclaimer: I was testing this on Word 2007 only so far, and Word might do
    some tricks, like silently picking up a character from a replacement font.
