Ǆ, ǅ, and ǆ characters have the caron placed strangely #134

Hi, the ⟨ǆ⟩ character and the other two case variants all place the caron on the d, while the character is generally used for the (unligatured) sequence ⟨d⟩ ⟨ž⟩. The unicode decomposition of the character is defined as 0064 017E further supporting this, and I am not aware of another usage of this character. I assume this is probably an oversight caused by not being familiar with this character?

Oof, yes, that is definitely not intended. Thank you for taking time to file this issue. I'll investigate further and fix this in a future release.

Just confirmed that this is the case:

I’ll try to fit in a fix soon. Thanks again for letting me know about it, @mhavos!
