Hello,
There doesn't seem to be a Prefix Command for placing a macron over a small letter 'a'. [1]
Like typing `C-x 8 ^ a â' to place a circumflex over a small letter a, I'd like to be able to type the 'a' and 'i' with macron in 'Cháng Xiāng Sī (Everlasting Longing) by Bai Juyi'.

Would you consider using the chinese-sisheng input method? That has
mappings for all of those. In fact, digging some more, thereʼs the
hawaiian-prefix method as well, which has far fewer mappings, so
shouldn't interfere too much with normal typing.
Otherwise it could be added to the C-x 8 map, but Iʼm having a hard
time finding a prefix thatʼs both free and reasonably mnemonic for
MACRON, unless we want to turn 'C-x 8 =' into a prefix map, with
'C-x 8 = =' meaning 'insert MACRON'.

How about a C-u before `C-x 8 - ' for to `insert MACRON'?
I fail to find instructions to use chinese-sisheng in [1] and the listings from describe-mode, describe-bindings don't have `ī' in them, for example.
C-x <RET> C-\ h <TAB> ; has no hawaiian-prefix method completion but hebrew.

VanL> How about a C-u before `C-x 8 - ' for to `insert MACRON'?
C-x 8 already uses the prefix argument to mean COUNT, so I donʼt think
that will work.

It doesnʼt appear to be documented in the manual, but itʼs easy enough
to use. Turn it on and type eg
Cha
You'll see "Cha[1234ino]" in the echo area. If you then type "1",
you'll get:
Chā
Similarly
Xia1 => Xiā
Si1 => Sī
and so on.

Sorry, that was added in emacs-27, and youʼre on emacs-26.

Thanks Robert for the tip on how to make use of chinese-sisheng. This
input method does exactly what I need in that situation. I am trying to
use Emacs to write email and have lost track of your post this one is in
reply to. So, discoverability in the docs for typing with macron in
Chinese poem titles as presented is what's needed. When I next go past
emacs-27 I will definitely try the hawaiin input method.

Something like the following, perhaps? Eli, can this still go into
emacs-26, given that weʼre at -rc1?

Too late, sorry. Let's wait till 26.3 is released.

Pushed to emacs-26.
Iʼm not sure what to do with the bug, though. The OPs problem is
solved, so I guess we can close it?

Yes, I think so. Are there any reasons why we shouldn't?
