Rough breathing on a rho
Here is a temporary fix for the problem with rough breathing on a rho showing up as a dot under some new versions of Microsoft Word.
Instead of using the normal key sequence for generating this character, instead:
type 2219
hold down the ATL key and press X
The 2219 will then be replaced by the rough rho.
