U+0323 Combining Dot Below

U+0323 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+0300 to U+036F Combining Diacritical Marks in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Nonspacing Mark and inherits its script property from the preceding character. It is also used in the scripts Cherokee, Duployan shorthand, Katakana, Latin, Syriac. The character is also known as nang.

The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Nonspacing Mark. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+0323 prohibits a line break before it. The glyph can be confused with 22 other glyphs.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

When used as a diacritic mark, the term dot refers to the glyphs "combining dot above" (◌̇), and "combining dot below" (◌̣) which may be combined with some letters of the extended Latin alphabets in use in a variety of languages. Similar marks are used with other scripts.
