Then you must have newer versions of Arial and Courier. Are you
using Windows Vista?
The core versions of Arial and Courier New do not display this combination
correctly on my system, Windows XP SP2.
But, other fonts installed here *do* display the combination correctly.
The Doulos SIL font certainly displays this combination well, as long
as the operating system ("Uniscribe") is up-to-date.
Links for Doulos SIL:
http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSILFont
http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSIL_download
In any case, the correct way to encode it is with the string
U+004A U+030C, as others have already mentioned.
Display problems associated with such combinations will disappear
eventually as systems and fonts get updated/upgraded.
Best regards,
