That's exactly what I wanted to do on my Russian flashcards, and in general.
I literally spent hours trying to figure out how to do it, but eventually I gave up - something I almost never do with computers.

I'll check Chaikas advice later. I never checked for this specifically with Unicode, so that could be it. Maybe that's the secret.

There's got to be some way to do it, because accents are used in lots of Russian text books for students.
