Symbol for Arc Not Available in General Symbols

Hello. I am typesetting a geometry book and I need to use the arc symbol (the symbol used over letters which looks like a downward parentheses). But I can’t find anything of that kind in the symbols list. Please help me with this. Thank you.

Are you looking for the Breve accent?

$ breve(a) $

More information:

Almost there. The inverted Breve thing is what I want.

This should be paren.t I think

$accent(a, paren.t)$

Another option is to use the character itself which is U+0311 according to Wikipedia.

$ accent(a, \u{0311}) $
$ accent(a, paren.t) $
