Circumflex w and y (?, ?) have been freely available for PCs ever since MS
Word 98.

Do Insert/Symbol and scroll down. Double click on the symbol ?, highlight it
in your document, and do Insert/Autotext/New; give "?" the autotext shortcut
",y". Then you can write "t?" by typing "t,y" hitting F3 and you will get
"t?". Using a punctuation mark before the shortcut means you do not have to
highlight the shortcut in the middle of a word before hitting F3.

Cheers,

Steve Hewitt
