Jana-Nicole Laborte (ID: 0000002818e0cf68) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/31/2020 I have to use the Polynesian text to type out the kahakō's, but getting one over the "e" on my computer is no longer possible. No matter where I am typing, either on a web page or the Polynesian Text box, alt + e brings up the shortcut instead of the "e" with the kahakō over it.
