The site supports vowels with macrons, as used in te reo Māori, using the Unicode UTF-8 standard. Note that macrons will display correctly when your browser supports use of the UTF-8 character set, and the character set is available on your computer.

Authors using Mac OS X v10.2 or above can use the Hawaiian keyboard to enter macron vowels directly. At the moment, macrons in page titles are not supported, mainly because a URL isn’t allowed to contain Unicode characters1.

Authors using Windows or older versions of Mac OS can create macrons using the following table. It uses the DocBook ISO-Latin-2 entities to represent long vowel characters.
