The dotted circle, in Unicode U+25CC ◌ dotted circle (HTML ◌), is a typographic character used to illustrate the effect of a combining mark, such as a diacritic mark. In Windows, it is possible to use the key combination Alt+9676 to produce the character.

Using the generic dotted circle character also shows the relative positioning of the diacritic.
