Unicode macrons

You have to enter unicode numbers, unfortunately. Use the following codes (including all symbols) in the middle of your text.
LetterUppercaseLowercase
ĀĀā
ĒĒē
ĪĪī
ŌŌō
ŪŪū
So, for example, to display the word "Māori", type "Māori". It's less than ideal, I admit, but it's how HTML seems to work.

(To display "Māori", type "M&amp#257;ori".)

NB. Unicode is the modern version of ASCII. The difference is that Unicode has 16-bit characters where ASCII has 8-bit ones. This allows for 65536 different characters instead of 256; and 65536 is enough to cover pretty much every character in every language on the planet, and have a bit left over.
All ASCII characters have the same code in Unicode, reformatted to 16-bit numbers (e.g. 6D (= 'm') in ASCII becomes 006D (hex) in Unicode).
