12think: Corrected article from saying LibreOffice could not do overstrike, to add that it can partially do it using characters X and / (forward slash) using the strikethrough function. Also removed OpenOffice.Org as it finished in 2010. I did not add Apache OpenOffice as it has not had a major update since 2014.

These are: [[grave accent]], [[tilde]], [[acute accent]] (approximated by the [[apostrophe]]), [[Diaeresis (diacritic)\|diaeresis]] (double quote), [[cedilla]] (comma), and [[circumflex accent]].

	In [[typography]], '''overstrike''' is a method of printing [[character (computing)\|character]]s that are missing from the [[printer (computing)\|printer]]'s [[character set]]. The character is created by placing one character on another one – for example, overstriking ⟨L⟩ with ⟨-⟩ results in printing a ⟨Ł⟩ ([[L with stroke]]) character.

	The [[ASCII]] code supports six different [[diacritics]]. These are: [[grave accent]], [[tilde]], [[acute accent]] (approximated by the [[apostrophe]]), [[Diaeresis (diacritic)\|diaeresis]] (double quote), [[cedilla]] (comma), and [[circumflex accent]]. Each is typed by typing the preceding character, then backspace, and then the 'related character', which is ⟨`⟩, ⟨~⟩, ⟨'⟩, ⟨"⟩, or ⟨^⟩, respectively for the above-mentioned accents.
