I was just reading "Learning Segmentation by Random Walks" by "Marina Meila" and "Jianbo Shi".
How can I make the letter (or rather the diacritical mark above the a) in the last name of the first author? Is it a caron? If not, how is it called?

In regular latex you can choose different fonts for different symbols, but not different colours. If you don't mind using xelatex or lualatex, however, you could try my new package "Unicode-math" which does allow you to do this sort of thing. The interface isn't that great, yet, but the general idea is
\setmathfont{XITS Math}
\setmathfont[range= <Unicode slot for char you want>, Color=red]
{XITS Math}
Limited by the number of fonts you can use at the moment, I'm afraid.
Update: Here's an actual example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\begin{document}
\setmathfont{XITS Math}
\setmathfont[range="65,math-style=upright,Colour=FF0000]{XITS Math}
$def$
\end{document}
It doesn't work if you put Colour before the math-style, but I can't explain why that is right now. I also can't justify why you need to use "65 rather than "1D452. It seems my code has taken on a life of its own :)
One can choose between the following two solutions; the first one centers the two symbols with respect to one another, the second one draws the square and then displaces the check mark.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
\mbox{\ooalign{$\checkmark$\cr\hidewidth$\square$\hidewidth\cr}}
\makebox[0pt][l]{$\square$}\raisebox{.15ex}{\hspace{0.1em}$\checkmark$}
\end{document}
By acting on the two dimensions, one can find by trial and error the best relative positioning of the check mark with respect to the box.
This gives (with magnification x16 and displayed horizontally):
