I'm working on a document with diacritics. Everything was going well until I needed to use an Ḥ (H with a dot under) as a small capital for titles in the table of contents. These titles are set in small capitals.
At first, I thought that the font didn't have them. I spent quite some time looking for fonts that had support; I could not find any. I then decided to add them using Font Forge. After hunting for the Unicode address, I have come to the conclusion that this might not exist.
Case in point (XeLaTeX with Adobe Garamond Pro):
Is it true that Ḥ doesn't exist as a small capital?
I've checked the following:
Latin Map charts -- Unicode
List of Latin script letters -- Wikipedia
Small Caps -- Wikipedia
Voiceless epiglottal fricative -- Wikipedia. This is what a small capital H represents.

The character doesn't (as far as I can see) exist in Unicode, it may very well exist as a character in a font though, so check through the small caps in your font first...
Small caps are usually implemented as OpenType features, so whether they have Unicode code points is mostly irrelevant (there are some Unicode small caps, but not a complete set). Characters with diacritics mostly have their own Unicode code points too and fonts usually include a certain characters already combined, but diacritics can and should also be available as combining characters, meaning you can attach them to the base characters as you wish.
So all you really need is a font that includes the small caps that you need and the combining dot below character. Type your "h", then your dot below combining character, then turn on small caps...
