Vedic accents have never been standardised in the Velthuis encoding. A
few macros were designed, the usage is shown in vedasample.dn in the
very same directory. However, Vedic accents are available in unicode,
you can type them directly. I am not sure whether all accents are
available, the Unicode standard says that only some of them are
available.
