Hi,

This is a bit complicated. The general answer is that in the Extended
Wylie Transliteration System (EWTS) used by WylieWord, you can get any
stack using +. So you want Ar+ya, approximately.

However, this only works if the font you are using also has the stack.

The Tibetan Machine Web (TMW) font does not have a ra-over-ya stack.

Tibetan Machine Unicode (TMU) has a stack for ra with a subscribed
full-form ya. You can get that in EWTS (and therefore WylieWord) with
Ar+Ya. (This requires that you are running a version of WylieWord
that supports Unicode, i.e. version 2.1 or later, and that you have
selected the TMU font.)

The current (alpha test) version TMU does not have a stack with ra
over reduced-form ya. This is a bug that I have heard will be
corrected in the next version of TMU.

Other Unicode fonts may have this stack; I don't know. Any Unicode
font can be used with WylieWord, so if they do, you can write Ar+ya to
get it.

Best wishes,
