While this can be fixed in the templates, in my opinion users shouldn’t have to change something in the templates for that – it should be supported out of the box. That’s why I opened a PR:

> <https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/4049>
>
> \# Changes
> This adds a bit of line-height to make the diacritics visible. It doe…sn't look out of place for latin letters in my opinion, even though the input field becomes slighter heigher due to the change in this PR.
> 
> \# Rationale
> While this can be done via templates as well, I think anki should support other languages without any additional, special setup.
> 
> \# Tests
> I asked a AI service to provide me a Dzongkha word and it provided \_བཀྲ་ཤིས་\_. I tested with this string and with a few random latin strings.
> 
> \# Pictures
> All these pictures are with the change from this PR.
> 
> \_Dzongkha and latin next to each other:\_
