Sunrise query...writing one symbol in front of another

[Kimberley A. Shaw]

Hello all:
over to Charles on this one, please! I *tried* to put back the sign I
lost, but could not locate that diacritic that was borrowed from the
movement-writing; where is it located from the SignMaker "groups" menu?
So, Charles, if you can tell me where it is, then I can re-create the sign!
Val, please don't stress! When I put a query to the list, I really am
hoping that *anybody* who's got an answer will write back, and not only
you; the more I can fly along solo making my documents, the happier *I*
am. And believe me, SignPuddle is a very fun set of tools to play around
with.
best,
Kim from Boston
