@stargazer How did you get the line above the U in Manawatū (I copied and paste from yours)
If you have a Mac you can select the Māori language keybord and you'll get a United Tribes flag in the corner where the language flag is (usually it's an Oz flag for NZ based Macs). You can find it under keyboard preferences.
Then you just hold down option and the vowel and you'll get the macron.
