| U+25CC ◌ DOTTED CIRCLE |
In Unicode, the dotted circle (◌) is a non-significant typographic character used to illustrate the effect of a combining mark, such as a diacritic mark.[1] It can also be used to indicate a spot where a character ought to be, but it is seldom used for anything else.
Illustration[edit]
A Unicode combining mark combines with a preceding character. When used as stand-alone, it would combine unintentionally with a preceding character (possibly a space):
- Diacritic ̒ used alone between regular spaces
- Diacritic ◌̒ used after a character
Using the generic dotted circle character also shows the relative positioning of the diacritic.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
