I know there is no such syllable as "त" in English, but still is there any way we can write it with English alphabet, using any accent or anything? Like it's done for Spanish or Italian I guess?

Also How to put a macron over vowels (ā) in Windows 7?

I tried the Alt code from this answer- Is it possible to enter macron (ā) and caron (ǎ) diacritics with USA international keyboard?

But that's clearly for Win XP. And that's an old answer. How do I do it in Win 7? Maybe there is some way now.

Typing Characters from other languages, especially languages like Hindi, is slightly roundabout.

To type in Hindi, you have to find :

If you use a Hindi font, then every English letter on the keyboard would correspond to another Hindi letter.

On the other hand, using a website like Gate2Home that has a Hindi keyboard is a better idea because it is much more easier to manage.

You can add a macron a vowel using the Windows Character Map.

Steps :

  1. Type Character Map in the Start Menu.
  2. You can choose the font you want and after selecting the character you want, copy that and use it wherever needed.

The "Alt codes" for the ā and Ā can be found (generally) by just putting the symbol into Google. For your character it gives us the following Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%80

The Alt codes are as follows:

Ā = Alt + 0256
ā = Alt + 0257

This has to be supported by both the application and the font it uses. I can type these characters in using Word and either the Calibri, Arial or Times New Roman fonts, but there are many fonts where these characters are missing.
