Research direction

Start by locating how Codex defines Unicode-symbol shorthands, then compare the existing accent names with the code points and examples listed in the issue. Add the requested bottom accents and other obvious missing variants, and verify that each shorthand produces the intended symbol.

Description

A recent issue in the typst repository (https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/5846) made me realize that we're missing shorthands for a ton of bottom accents (and some regular accents too). Here's a selection (not exhaustive)

#show math.equation: set text(font: "STIX Two Math")

Bottom version of `macron` (not stretchable)
$
  accent(x, \u{331}) 
$

Bottom version of `dash`
$
  accent(x y,\u{332})
$

Bottom version of `tilde`
$
  accent(x y,\u{330})
$

Bottom versions of arrows
$
  accent(x y,\u{20ee}) quad accent(x y,\u{20ef}) quad accent(x  y,\u{34d})
$

Bottom versions of harpoons
$
  accent(x y,\u{20ec}) quad accent(x y,\u{20ed}) 
$

Bottom dots
$
  accent(x,\u{323}) quad accent(x,\u{324}) quad accent(x,\u{20e8})
$
