Lewis and Short: carets in many entries; misreading of double diacritic mark about lexica HOT 3 OPEN

Hi.
The lexica were encoded prior to there being Unicode equivalents for the various accents and stress marks so there are various idiosyncrachies throughout. The caret was intentional as a stopgap. Neither of the large lexica have been converted to Unicode yet.

Fair enough. Assuming the caret always represents the same thing, it shouldn't be too hard to automatically script this.

Would a PR applying such a change be accepted, or are there issues to address first, etc?

All of the entities need conversion to Unicode and there are probably similar encoding gaps, etc. Then the markup itself needs conversion. The primary sources are the priority at this writing.
As noted in the wiki, none of the changes made here will be visible in Perseus in the short term, but we have been accepting pull requests on these versions.
