Following on from yesterday's topic of macrons, I find that other diacritics have been used to write te reo Maori. In Sir Apira Ngata's book: Maori Grammar & Conversation (previously mention) I find several others.
There are, apart from the macron, what looks like a 'smiley' curve, an upside-down 'v', the umlaut (those two Germanic dots), and the sloping line above the 'e' of cafe, except that it slopes the other way.
