Special symbol - "k" with dot below

[Norman Swartz]

Is there some way, short of using a glyph, to have a dot appear below the
letter "k"?

span{position:relative;margin-left:-0.5em;bottom:-4px;}

<p>K<span>.</span></p>

opera/moz. not supported by IE. seems to cope reasonably well with
varying font sizes. its not something i would recommend doing.

What would be the purpose of the dot?

For general information on finding ways to present special characters,
see e.g. http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/unicode.html

Specifically, small letter k with dot below is ḳ and capital k with
dot below is Ḳ.

But commonly available fonts usually lack a glyph for this characters.
Arial Unicode MS is the most important exception, but not all people have
it - it is shipped with some commercial software like Windows, and it's
seldom a choice for a browser's default font.

span{position:relative;margin-left:-0.5em;bottom:-4px;}

<p>K<span>.</span></p>

opera/moz. not supported by IE.

The following seems to work on IE:

span { position: relative;
left: -0.35em;
top: 0.2em; }
