I'm using Konsole that ships with Kubuntu 9.04, and I can't get the Unicode
combining diacritic "combining dot above" U+0307 to work.  For example, if I go
into Python, I get:
luke at DELL-E1505:~/lib/python/sympy(master)$ python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print(u'a\u0307')
a
>>>

Which, at least on my computer is an a with no dot above it.  Other diacrits
work though:
>>> print(u'a\u0352')
a͒
>>>

I'm trying to use the dot above some letters for some symbolic mathematics
where things like dx/dt would be represented more compactly by using the Newton
notation for the derivative, i.e., an x with a dot above it.

I don't think it is an issue with the font I'm using, which is DejaVu Sans
Mono, which is supposed to support this character.

xterm prints this just fine on my computer, with the exact same commands.
