It might be relevant whether you're using a Mac or an IBM for the answer to
this question.

The inverted circumflex is called a "caron." In its freestanding
representation it's decimal character 255 in the Adobe fonts (at least on a
Mac, I don't know about anything outside that world). The "S" and "s" with
a caron on top _do_ exist in the standard fonts. They're decimal characters
5 and 6 (and called "Scaron" and "scaron"), respectively, which--on the
Mac--are accessed via Control-e and Control-f, respectively.

I couldn't find the ccaron or Ccaron, however.  :(

(The only reason they include the freestanding caron in the font is so that
other characters, e.g. Scaron, can be constructed as a composite of a
standard character and the freestanding diacritical.)

So how are you able to construct them by combining the root letter with the
separate diacritical? (Viz. how do you backshift the diacritical to get it
over the base character?)
