    <p>I'm trying to find the best way to put circumflex accents ( &circ; = <code>&amp;circ;</code>) on top of numbers (a musical notation) without resorting to images. Certain letters have equivalent HTML entities: &ecirc; = <code>&amp;ecirc;</code>, &Ocirc; = <code>&amp;Ocirc;</code>, etc., but numbers don't. </p> <p>Here is what I'm currently using on my <a href="http://carillontech.org/vademecum/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">website</a>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;span style="position:relative;"&gt;1 &lt;span style="position:absolute; left:0.1em; bottom:0.2em; font-size:1.1em;"&gt; &amp;circ; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p>It looks pretty good, but not perfect---because of slight differences in number shapes and browser rendering, something is bound to be a little off. </p> <p>Does anyone have a more elegant solution for this? </p> <p><b>Update:</b></p> <p>The Combining Circumflex Accent <code>&amp;#770;</code> or <code>&amp;#x302;</code> produces different results on different browsers/platforms, most of which are not right (on my Mac, only Safari does it right). </p> <p>According to <a href="http://unicode.org/faq/char_combmark.html#12b" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>, proper display of a combining accent is dependent on both the font and the renderer. I'm using <code>Times New Roman, Times</code>, so it doesn't appear to be a workable option. I can't afford the hassle and inevitable ignoring of requiring a user to have a particular font. </p> <p>I guess I'll have to stick with manually positioning the accent atop the note as above unless there's any other new answers. Thanks. </p> <p><b>Update 2:</b></p> <p>Embedding a free font with better diacritic support (especially <a href="http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&amp;cat_id=FontDownloadsDoulos" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Doulos SIL</a>) seemed promising, but as of now (Nov 2009), Chrome does not support <code>@font-face</code> in CSS by default. Once it does, though, it will be great, since the other browsers are already on board. <a href="http://www.webfonts.info" rel="nofollow noreferrer">webfonts.info</a> is the place for info on this. </p>

    2. COHave you ever stopped and thought that maybe this doesn't work because there aren't any character sets anywhere that have the circumflex access over numbers?

    3. COI think that you should take another approach in this case, maybe using MathML. These are not real characters (are not included in Unicode set). In your case you have a very simple form of an equation.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
