Hmm not so easy for ǐ and ǎ (Caron i & a)

For legacy reasons, most letters that carry carons are precomposed characters in Unicode, but a caron can also be added to any letter by using the combining character U+030C ◌̌ COMBINING CARON, for example: b̌ q̌ J̌.

The characters Č, č, Ě, ě, Š, š, Ž, ž are a part of the Unicode Latin Extended-A set because they occur in Czech and other official languages in Europe, while the rest are in Latin Extended-B, which often causes an inconsistent appearance.

Unicode also encodes U+032C ◌̬ COMBINING CARON BELOW, for example: p̬.
—Wikipedia

So Ǎ ǎ and Ǐ ǐ are not in the Extended Latin A, which may be why you see the wrong thing.

(All working here on Linux, but I had to look up how to type a caron, it's Compose c <letter>
(Carat is Compose ^ <letter> )

So anyway, now I can test fonts.

You need a font that has extended Latin B as well as regular and extended Latin A.

And I still can't display old Irish dotless i, except with a few old broken fonts (typed letter is regular i). A Turkish dotless i is the wrong character.
