Yes - I too have been busy researching on Caliban's behalf. The usual Alt character list does not include it, but the whole Czech alphabet is here, in case Calibs also wants to start a thread on Janáček, as the inverted circumflex on the C is also missingOriginally posted by mangerton View PostDo you mean Bohuslav Martinů? I couldn't find the ů as an alt character, but I found it online, so do feel free to copy and paste from here!

Of course, the Ladies of Powys appreciate the dexterity of pianists but I'm afraid they are transfixed by his piercing blue eyes and seduced by his faint Liverpool lilt and say it's about a well-turned-out honey-glazed hunk rolling up the sleeves of an expensive shirt and plunging his big hands into warm, moist dough, and working it, masterfully. Slowly to start with .... Ahem. That's them, not me, you understand. Give me someone banging out a tune by Liszt anytime!!Originally posted by ahinton View Post

Indeed it is but I think it's because Easter is half-term, a four day weekend and so we are all feeling a bit Third Form-ish?Originally posted by Caliban View PostThis is a really bizarre thread!!
