How It Works
1. Hex:U+0350 → ͐ after the base letter. The browser combines them into o͐.
2. Decimal: same code point as 848 → ͐. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \0350 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends the mark above the letter o.
4. Typed: in UTF-8 you can type the base letter and the combining mark directly — same visual result.

Explain the mark

CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0350 belongs in CSS. ͐ / ͐ belong in HTML after the base letter.
