This is what I did. I could do it for all sorts of letters in the English alphabet.

I tested this IE 9 only.

<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            hi
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>
            a&#x304; b&#x304; c&#x304; d&#x304; e&#x304; f&#x304; g&#x304;
            h&#x304; i&#x304; j&#x304; k&#x304; l&#x304; m&#x304; n&#x304;
            o&#x304; p&#x304; q&#x304; r&#x304; s&#x304; t&#x304; u&#x304;
            v&#x304; w&#x304; x&#x304; y&#x304; z&#x304;
        </p>
        <p>
            A&#x304; B&#x304; C&#x304; D&#x304; E&#x304; F&#x304; G&#x304;
            H&#x304; I&#x304; J&#x304; K&#x304; L&#x304; M&#x304; N&#x304;
            O&#x304; P&#x304; Q&#x304; R&#x304; S&#x304; T&#x304; U&#x304;
            V&#x304; W&#x304; X&#x304; Y&#x304; Z&#x304;
        </p>
    </body>
</html>

If you specify the correct character encoding for your page, you will not have to escape ā at all (look for the meta tag below):

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>...</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Put this instead of the character into your HTML: &#x0101; If you need it capitalized, &#x0100;.
