Hmmm ... ConTeXt actually replaces \v c by č automatically if that's
the case (but I cannot believe that it really works that way, using
\v).
If I run "pdftotext -enc UTF-8" I also get a proper č or š, but ǎ
remains a+combining caron, and most other characters retain a
combining accent behind them as well (in contrast to pdfTeX where one
can get just anything out of the (non-)combining accents).

(Preview.app doesn't handle accents by copy-pasting anyway, but
searching works OK, even searching for ǎ works.)
