Unusual Accented Letter: umlaut + accent

Question

This is the letter I'm trying to reproduce: ǘ

There's an umlaut and, on top, an acute accent. I can do one or the other but not both.

Any suggestion?

Combining accents \'{\"{u}} works for me... (pdftex with with fontenc). — campa, Mar 29 '19 at 09:32
@campa You have to add option T1, because in many other options it doesn't work. — , Mar 29 '19 at 09:40
@JouleV Ups... I thought I wrote that... Thanks for the catch. — campa, Mar 29 '19 at 09:58
The stack on option also works: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/159291/multiple-diacritics-on-one-character — CyanideBaby, Mar 29 '19 at 10:27

With XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX,

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
ǘ
\end{document}

works.

Thank you. Not a problem down the line if it's not typeset, with brackets and all, as other accents are? – CyanideBaby Mar 29 '19 at 09:26
And actually, it doesn't work for me. The letter simply disappears. Btw, I'm using /book. – CyanideBaby Mar 29 '19 at 09:28
@nofare Do you have an up-to-date TeX distribution? Do you use Xe/LuaLaTeX as the compiler? – Mar 29 '19 at 09:28
What doesn't work? This simple MWE or when you embed it into you larger document with all sorts of packages/options loaded? – sheß Mar 29 '19 at 09:29
Sorry should have been clearer: it doesn't work once embedded in a much larger document. – CyanideBaby Mar 29 '19 at 09:52
@nofare Could you add an example with a compilable code? I can't reproduce the problem. And of course, check all the warnings and the log file. Update the TeX distribution if necessary. – Mar 29 '19 at 09:54
