- I’lll have to leave it up to antiques experts to tell you when objects were marked that way, but I can tell you it’s called a “hacek” (with the hat over the “c” and pronounced “hacheck”.) It is used to show that a “c” is pronounced as “ch” and an “s” as “sh.”

- hachecks are good, maybe some sort of (additional, unofficial) transliteration into 7-bit ascii would be nice (ch sh zh is so nice, but conflicts with h, maybe cx sx zx… but this does not look emotionally appealing :-))

- ok, I am calling them carrons now :-)
Because hacheck is a Czech word. When speaking english, I want to use the english equivalent (otherwise I can speak about “makchens” and no-one knows it is the same as hacheck)

- In my efforts to get The House of Habsburg on line, I have discovered I don’t know how to add hacheck (spelling) accents to c’s for some of the town names in Czech. Does anyone know the code for this?

- ⁽¹⁾ An inverted circumflex would look like a logical Or, not like a logical Not (¬), which is a horizontal segment and a shorter vertical segment.
It’s an accent in some languages and is called something like Hacheck. I know it best as the accent in Dvorak.
- ⁽²⁾ It’s the accent above the “r” in Dvořák. There is also an accent above the “a”. The word “hachek” (hacheck, or transliterated any other way one likes) is, of course, self-referentially spelled with a hachek in Czech — háček. I can only hope that all my diacritics survive the various email editors through which they pass.
