I just realized that you were using the double inverted breve in the wrong
position...
It must be coded between the two base characters to which it applies (see
fig. 3-3 of the Unicode 3.0 standard).

Coding it this way should work with a font like Andalé Mono WT, but it does
not seem to work with Arial Unicode MS.

&#596;&#865;&#248; // works with IE 5.0 and Netscape 4.5
or
&#x254;&#x0361;&#x00f8; // works with IE 5.0

Arial Unicode MS seems to want the double inverted breve after the second
base character this, I believe, is wrong.
Sorry for not pointing this out sooner.
