Is amacron (ā) the character that you want to use? Which font do you
use (and which encoding and regime)? Do you use pdftex or any other
platform (XeTeX perhaps)?

You don't need to put silly \uchar{}{} definitions in the text, I'm
sure there is a more elegant way to do it. If the placement of the
macron doesn't suit your font, you can redefine it and get rid of
those \uchar-s. You can still use unicode or whatever input encoding
(regime) you need (Latin4/6/7?). Send a complete minimal example to
the list, including font definitions.

PS: if you need to use amacron/Amacron, you can try to be more
annoying on the list. You  would need another encoding then (enco-el,
"dense" encoding) which has to be finished once in the near future.
