I have a chart of ASCII codes on my wall that shows what I would call an
upside down hat at ASCII 249 and a slightly different one at ASCII 255.
Using Command-Option-Q in Word, you can input the ASCII code to produce
the character that way.

I expect you want to place this above a letter, in which case you need to
include it in a formula using the Overwrite command. Thus you would enter
command-option-backslash (producing the dot-backslash formula character)
followed by capital O, followed by the arguments in parentheses separated
by a comma.  The arguments are the letter and the upside down hat char-
acters.

Since both "hats" are at the top of the character position, they should be
visible above any character you write on top of it.  (The last time I gave
this advice to the poster who wanted to make pronunciation characters, I
tried it at the same time I was writing the reply.  It looked fine in
Word's page preview.
