... And if you remember to set up the encoding correctly, which I didn't in
my previous mail -- sorry!
Here is what I should have written:

You can type it, if you have a keyboard containing this sequence or the
single characters composing it:
 
        i´j´
        (U+0069 <i>, U+0301 <acute accent>, U+006A <j>, U+0301 <acute
accent>)
 
Or, canonically equivalent:

        íj´
        (U+00ED <i with acute accent>, U+006A <j>, U+0301 <acute accent>)

Whether or not it displays fine, depends on the font and display engine you
have.

BTW, you could NOT encode that with the precomposed "ij" (U+0133 <ij
ligature>), because two accents applied to a single base character would
display on top of each other.
