Macrons

I noticed that macron support has been added and that Japanese names using it have started to appear.

Should we therefore stop using the circumflex accent in its place and correct the old entries?

@DuraNext​ - Hi again, 

We got confirmation from the respective team and yes, you can stop using the circumflex accent and are welcome to fix any existing/old entries through the contribution form. 

Just to clarify, you are referring to the macron vowels: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū (and the capitals Ā, Ē, Ī, Ō, Ū)?

Hope this helps!

That's right, I'm referring to macron vowels.

Thank you for the information.
