bug#37051: 26.2.90; feature request: C-x 8 <SYMBOL> Prefix Command for letter with macron

[VanL <van@scratch.space>]

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'.
