What Is Double Ring Below?

Double ring below is the Unicode character at U+035A in the Combining Diacritical Marks block. Official name: COMBINING DOUBLE RING BELOW. It attaches below the previous base letter — for example a͚ → a͚.

Remember

Decimal       ͚
CSS escape    \035A

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: write the base letter, then &#x035A; → a͚. Preferred when there is no named entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 858 → &#858; after the base letter. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \035A in content after a letter in the string (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends a͚.

4. Typed / compared: paste the combining mark after a letter in UTF-8, or contrast U+035A (double) with U+0325 (single).

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Double Ring Below.

Order

Base letter first

Write a&#x035A;, not &#x035A;a. Combining marks attach to the previous character.

U+0325

Not a single ring below

For one combining ring below a letter, use U+0325. U+035A is the double form.

°

Not &deg;

&deg; is the spacing degree sign U+00B0 (°). It does not combine under a letter the way U+035A does.

U+030A

Not ring above

U+030A places a ring above the letter. U+035A places a double ring below.

Name

No named entity

There is no &doubleringbelow; for U+035A. Use &#x035A; or &#858;.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\035A belongs in CSS strings. &#x035A; / &#858; belong in HTML after a base letter.

Fonts

Diacritic font coverage

Some fonts omit U+035A. Prefer a font with Combining Diacritical Marks / IPA coverage for display.

Browser Support

Combining double ring below (U+035A) and its entity forms (&#x035A;, &#858;, CSS \\035A) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible positioning depends on font diacritic coverage.

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: combining double ring below is U+035A (decimal 858).
  • HTML: no named entity — use base + &#x035A; / &#858;, or type the mark after a letter.
  • CSS: use a letter + \035A inside content.
  • Meaning: double ring below — not U+0325 (single), U+030A (above), or spacing &deg;.

One line: U+035A → base + &#x035A; / &#858; / CSS \035A.
