When I insert into the source view of an empty document the character entity  &#x11b; 
(the unicode value of the 'e' with caron ('^' turned 180 degrees) above it).and I save
the document, the formatted view displays the right character.

If it doesn't work with you, Amaya didn't find the right iso-8859-2 font.

If it works with you, the problem comes from the input method, so I need to know what
unicode value was inserted in the document (please send me the resulting document).
