U+0325 "̥" Combining Ring Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̥
U+0325 "̥" Combining Ring Below is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription and romanization systems, most notably in the International Phonetic Alphabet, where it is placed underneath a base character to indicate that the sound is voiceless, such as with the symbol for a voiced alveolar lateral approximant [l] becoming the voiceless [l̥]. This combining character can be applied to various letters, and its appearance is a small open circle centered below the base glyph, blending seamlessly into text when supported by the font and rendering system.
