Okay, I have no idea what I am doing on my IDNs. Please let me know offers, if any, and other information.
Wikipedia.org is excellent for this kind of information:

A caron (" ˇ "), also known as a háček (pronounced /hʌːʧɛk/), is a diacritic placed over certain letters to indicate present or historical palatalization or iotation in the orthography of Baltic languages and some Slavic languages, whereas some Finno-Lappic languages use it to mark postalveolar fricatives (sh, zh, ch).
It looks similar to a breve, but has a sharp tip, like an inverted circumflex (^), while breve is rounded. Compare Ǎ ǎ Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ǒ ǒ Ǔ ǔ (caron) with Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ (breve).
The left (downward) stroke is thicker than the right (upward) stroke in typographically correct typefaces, but these are rare.
The term "caron" is used in the official names of Unicode characters (eg, "Latin capital letter Z with caron"). The word háček means "little hook" in Czech. In Slovak it is called mäkčeň (i.e. "softener" or "palatalization mark"), in Slovenian strešica ("little roof"), in Croatian and Serbian kvaka or kvačica (also "small hook"), katus ("roof") in Estonian and hattu ("hat") in some Finnic languages besides Estonian.
