Hi Riachard,

your character appears fine here. Interesting to note that you're
using U+031C COMBINING LEFT HALF RING BELOW while Mia is using an
ogonek.

depending on how you're designed your keyboard layout you could reduce
it two at least two keystrokes. One key stroke would also be possible,
but probably result in a keyboard layout that's difficult to use.
