Hi,

Have you tries U+1024 or LETTER CAPITAL H WITH CIRCUMFLEX?

True not all Fonts might not have it and it is TEXT not Math.

Just a thought.

I've tried to redefine the \hat macro to move the accent up a bit using \topaccent: is this the best approach? Having to nest '$' does not seem right at all. (Also, for some reason although I find \mathhat in enco-ini.mkiv, when I try to use it I get undefined control sequence.)
