 * I’ve recently installed the plugin “Hover”, and it works really well. However,
   my site uses a lot of special characters to transliterate the Sanskrit language(
   like an “a” with a line over it, or an “s” with a dot under it, etc), and Hover
   doesn’t display them properly. Is there anything I can do to get this to work
   the way I’d like?
 * This is a list of the special characters that I use on my site:
    Ā ā Ī ī Ū ū 
   Ṛ ṛ Ṝ ṝ Ḷ ḷ Ḹ ḹ Ṁ ṁ Ḥ ḥ Ḍ ḍ Ṭ ṭ Ṇ ṇ Ś ś Ṣ ṣ
 * Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

 * I’ve been at this for almost 3 days now… searching desperately for an answer.
   If anyone even has a clue of a direction to point me in, that would be awesome.
 * I’ve downloaded another program called “Tippy”, and it will give me the correct
   characters on my pages, posts and widgets, but it doesn’t seem to work with my“
   Formidable” forms (which is where I need it to work)… ugh. This is frustrating.“
   Hover” works with the forms, just doesn’t display the characters.
 * Please help!!… anyone.

 * Have you found a solution for this? It may simply be the font that Hover is using
   if it does not have support for the glyphs that you are trying to display. If
   the backend saves the special characters fine but frontend cannot display them,
   font should be the first thing to check. From the frontend, do you see the special
   characters as question marks, boxes or garbage characters?
