breve under letter is not in italics when using textit
Because the beginning of the letter is moved a bit to the left when in italics mode, the breve also needs to move to the left,otherwise it is no longer under the letter.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{semtrans}
begin{document}
Right position: U{h}
Wrong position: textit{U{h}}
end{document}
Any ideas how to correctly use a breve with italics?

Do you really want to use that package? It dates back to 1998.

The package is old and the definition is missing a ltx@sh@ft that helps correct such positioning. A more modern definition for the U macro is
newcommand*U[1]{oalign{#1crcrhidewidthltx@sh@ft{-3ex}%
vbox to .2ex{hbox{u{}}vss}hidewidth}}
In your own file you will need to enclose this in a makeatletter...makeatother pair. If you are loading the semtrans package you will need to use renewcommand* instead.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{semtrans}
makeatletter
renewcommand*U[1]{oalign{#1crcrhidewidthltx@sh@ft{-3ex}%
vbox to .2ex{hbox{u{}}vss}hidewidth}}
makeatother
begin{document}
Upright position: U{h}
Italic position: textit{U{h}}
end{document}
The above is modelled on the definition of the b accent defined in the LaTeX kernel, namely:
DeclareTextCommand{b}{OT1}[1]
{hmode@bgroupo@lign{relax#1crcrhidewidthltx@sh@ft{-3ex}%
vbox to.2ex{hbox{char22}vss}hidewidth}egroup}
You could thus mimic this completely and use
makeatletter
DeclareTextCommand{U}{OT1}[1]
{hmode@bgroupo@lign{relax#1crcrhidewidthltx@sh@ft{-3ex}%
vbox to.2ex{hbox{u{}}vss}hidewidth}egroup}
