Combining comma below (U+0326) is a combining mark in the Combining Diacritical Marks block. It does not stand alone like a normal letter — it stacks below the character that comes before it. Example: s + ̦ renders as ș. It appears in Romanian and other orthographies (often under s and t).

Prefer precomposed letters such as Ș/ș and Ț/ț when those single code points fit your text. Use U+0326 when composing marks dynamically, for NFD text, or bases without a precomposed form.
Comma below using Hex Code: ș

Comma below using CSS Entity: ș
Typed directly: ș
How It Works
1. Hex: write the base letter, then ̦ → ș becomes ș.
2. Decimal: same mark as 806 → ș. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: put base + escape in one string: content: "s\0326". #point::after appends that sequence after the paragraph text.
4. Typed: in UTF-8 you can type s then the combining comma below. Order must stay base first, mark second.
