U+014D LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH MACRON
U+0113 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH MACRON
U+0101 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON
U+012B LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH MACRON
U+016B LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH MACRON

Subtract 1 from each of these Unicode values to get the uppercase
equivalent.

They're all included in Windows Glyph List 4, so most fonts should have
