Just a heads up for those of us with "un type-able"  characters in our name...  i have found a solution.. and not knowing where to share it i thought i would put a little post here...  the main one i know of the O ogonek however you all may have found more... rather than do a clumsy picture image ( its what i was doing at least ) there is a small application i can send you called unicode input ( 21kb)  when it comes to unicode input a standard is sorely lacking, what works for one may or may not work for another... 

How does it work?
When you start it, it goes into the System Tray
simply hit alt and the NUMPAD + sign
A window opens in the center of the screen. Enter
the hex value of the character you want. ( 1ea for the o ogonek )   Ǫ
Press "Send".  It sends the corresponding unicode character 
to whatever was active when you pressed Alt-+
 i have verified that it works on all windows OS after Windows 98
any application that is compatible with
a tablet or assisted (non-keyboard) input should work.  There may be font issues however
It is free for non-commercial use
 just send me a direct email @ norfildur at hotmail.com and i will send you a copy of the application...

As always in service
