Unicode provides "combining diacritical marks" : you can use
"COMBINING DOT ABOVE", the hexadecimal value of which is 307 :
in xml :
Q̇
in text, on a linux platform (Hold down the shift and control keys
while typing 'u' and the hex value)
Q̇
Please note that result is dependant on the font you are using ; but it
works for most standard (browser) fonts.
More information is available at
http://www.unicode.org
and charts
http://www.unicode.org/charts/
can be helpful (I have local copies available when working with
docbook !)
