I was checking out the uralic languages and found that the Karelian
language (spoken in Russia) used to be written with the cyrillic script in soviet times. In this website I found that they used the usual cyrillic letters plus some of them with two dots above them, just like in Finnish language (ä, ö and others). I just wanted to know if there is any way of typing the letters Я and Ю with dots above them, as the Russian keyboard apparently doesn't allow the addition of diacritics, and I can't find this characters on the internet (to copy/paste). Other languages that use the cyrillic alphabet don't seem to use these specific two characters either. This is just out of boredom heh, but I'm curious that if one day I learn karelian, I would like to write it in cyrillic just for fun. Any ideas?

They use images. You could try combining diacritics, they can be used with any letter. Combining umlaut is U+0308 ( http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/character.jsp?a=0308 ) but it doesn't seem to combine well with cyrilic. Lowercase looks fine ( я̈ ю̈ ) but it doesn't combinne correctly with uppercase (Я̈ Ю̈). It may work better with other fonts though.
There is also a similar looking combining character, A66F, meant especially for cyrilic, but it doesn't work with my font: я꙯ ю꙯ Я꙯ Ю꙯ Here are tables of all cyrilic characters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_characters_in_Unicode You can use this tool to create your own keyboard layout: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964665 Edited by LaughingChimp on 23 January 2012 at 8:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

No. It looked fine while writing, but I can't see the dots at all now. If I try to edit the post, they are back there.

That's a font issue. Я̈ Ю̈ display perfectly while writing this message; when I hit 'post' a different font will be used, which shows the umlaut superimposed on the letters and not really visible -- just like in your post. Selecting those characters and pushing 'show selection source' (in a Mozilla browser) uses a monospaced font again, which clearly shows the combined characters.
