Overstrike
text:
In typography, overstrike is a method of printing characters that are missing from the printer's character set. The character is created by placing one character on another one – for example, overstriking ⟨L⟩ with ⟨-⟩ results in printing a ⟨Ł⟩ character. The ASCII code supports six different diacritics. These are: grave accent, tilde, acute accent, diaeresis, cedilla (comma), and circumflex accent. Each is typed by typing the preceding character, then backspace, and then the 'related character',
