In Unicode, the dotted circle (Template:Char) is a non-significant typographic character used to illustrate the effect of a combining mark, such as a diacritic mark.[1][citation needed] It can also be used to indicate a spot where a character is supposed to be, but it is rarely used for other purposes.[<span title="Script error: No such module "decodeEncode".">clarification needed]
Illustration
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):Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.

- Diacritic Template:Char used alone between regular spaces
- Diacritic Template:Char used after a character
Using the generic dotted circle character also shows the relative positioning of the diacritic.[citation needed]
