How do I contribute Vladimir Pospišil, but with an acute above the dot in the 1st i in Vladimir and the 1st i in Pospišil?  Just skip the acutes?  I've never seen this one before.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

Use Windows' Character Map. There are three distinct results, depending on the character:

1. Some characters immediately loose the accent. What works for š does not work for some other letters.
2. Some characters are displayed as a vertical line in the edit window, but display properly afterwards, That is, until a copy/paste of that data.
3. The character displays as intended. This is the case for í as well.

That's not what I meant, Staid.  I'll clarify: the acute is in addition to the dot, so it's i (plus the acute over the .  )

Is it a diaeresis acute? 

Edit:  a diaeresis acute i does not display.  So it might not be able to be used.

Yep, here is where I learnt about that. Quite an interesting thread:

It's not the diaeresis acute.  It's the i combined with the acute (Acute on top of the .)
I'm thinking I'll have to contribute the name without the problem character.

In that case, please contribute it with an i which is more accurate than leaving the character out altogether. Or an í may be even better, but that is your judgement call.

An i with both a dot and an acute does not appear to exist in any of the character sets that Character Map supports.
