I was wondering if some of you have the same issue as I have. Whenever I try to build in unicode (which include overbar, underbar or a vector) in my text I have a bug, for instance I want to include an overbar or a vector symbol but Inkscape won't let me put letters under the bar/vector. Did anyone have the same issue?
It looks always like that:
I am using an AMD Sapphire graphics card. Could it be related to that? Because I remember back in the days (2016) using my laptop with a Nvidea graphics card I've never had such an issue. Any comments are appreciated.
It looks like I get the dotted circle if I try to add a diacritical mark when there is no existing letter to place it over. Also, it seems to bunch up and add several different accent marks all to the same letter, depending on what I do first. This also seems to be affected by which language group is used -- it appears that some marks will attach to Arabic characters, but not Latin. My suggestion is to try making sure that you first have a letter there already, before trying to place the overline mark. I would be interested to know if this helps at all. If it doesn't work for you, you might provide a screenshot similar to the one I've included here, to help provide more context in terms of which Font Family and unicode encoding block you are using.

Thanks for your reply. I was using the Inkscape "Chat" yesterday and the moderators clarified the situation for me. I wasn't aware that it doesn't work with some fonts. Using sans serif it works fine.
Can you tell me how to you get the unicode window like you ahve it? Mine looks like:
Aha! So it was an issue of which font was being used... very interesting.... To access the Unicode side panel, I went to Text --> Unicode Characters. I'm using Inkscape version 1.0.2.
