U+20DA "⃚" Combining Anticlockwise Ring Overlay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⃚
U+20DA "⃚" Combining Anticlockwise Ring Overlay is a diacritical mark designed to be placed over a preceding base character, where it adds a small, open circle that visually suggests a counterclockwise rotation or directional modifier. This combining symbol is typically used in specialized notation, such as in mathematical, phonetic, or technical contexts, to alter or enhance the meaning of the base glyph without being a standalone character. Because it combines seamlessly with the adjacent letter or symbol, it ensures that the overlay maintains proper alignment and spacing within a line of text, supporting precise typographic representation in Unicode-enabled systems.
