Funny: I see them in my Windows Character Map utility at the first hit on
Page Down key...

Uppercase: 0100, 0112, 012A, 014C, 016A (decimal: 256, 274, 298, 332, 362)
Lowercase: 0101, 0113, 012B, 014D, 016B (decimal: 257, 275, 299, 333, 363)
You can also compose them with the normal letter followed by character
MODIFIER LETTER MACRON (code 02C9, decimal 713).

Several fonts which come pre-installed in Windows NT, 2000 or XP have those
characters, e.g. Arial, Times New Roman and Courier.

"Aloha"?
Is it for Hawaiian that you need the macrons? In that case also notice that,
afaik, the proper character for the glottal stop letter (aka "apostrophe" or
"okina") is MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA (code 02BB, decimal 699).
