    ... And if you remember to set up the encoding correctly, which I didn't in
    my previous mail -- sorry!
    Here is what I should have written:

    You can type it, if you have a keyboard containing this sequence or the
    single characters composing it:
     
             i´j´
             (U+0069 <i>, U+0301 <acute accent>, U+006A <j>, U+0301 <acute
    accent>)
     
    Or, canonically equivalent:

            íj´
            (U+00ED <i with acute accent>, U+006A <j>, U+0301 <acute accent>)

    Whether or not it displays fine, depends on the font and display engine you
    have.

    BTW, you could NOT encode that with the precomposed "ij" (U+0133 <ij
    ligature>), because two accents applied to a single base character would
    display on top of each other.
