I love the Ubuntu community! Last night, I had one reply to my plea for Ã¥ with a suggestion, but it didn’t work (though the guy is both a Linux and aquarium enthusiast, so I made him a contact). Another this morning said he probably couldn’t help, but asked for information to try. Third time lucky–some wonderful, helpful soul knew that Compose+a+a would make my long-lost Ã¥. Better yet, it’s even faster than the o+a combination. I also found the caret and breve; Compose+<+ (c/s/n/z) for caret and Compose+(+a for ă, which is the only character I ever use with a breve. ååååååå Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã… ăăăăăăă ššššššš ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Yaaaaaay! :)
