HTML Entity for Ring Below (̥)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Ring Below combining mark (̥) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+0325 (COMBINING RING BELOW) in the Combining Diacritical Marks block (U+0300–U+036F)—commonly used in phonetic transcriptions and IPA notation to mark voicelessness (e.g. p̥, t̥).
Use ̥, ̥, or CSS \325 after a base character (e.g. ḁ renders as ḁ). There is no named HTML entity. Do not confuse ̥ with U+030A (̊, ring above) or U+2218 (∘, ring operator / ∘).

🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
̥ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 0325. Place it after a base character: ḁ → ḁ.
Decimal HTML Code
̥ uses the decimal Unicode value 805. Example: ḁ → ḁ.
CSS Entity
\325 is used in CSS stylesheets in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::after, following a base character in markup.

💡 Best Practices
Do
- Always pair ̥ with a base character (e.g.
ḁorp̥) - Use
̥or̥for arbitrary base letters - Verify your font supports Combining Diacritical Marks
- Place the mark immediately after the base character in source order
- Use IPA fonts (e.g. Doulos SIL, Charis SIL) for phonetic content
Don’t
- Use ̥ alone—combining marks need a base glyph
- Confuse U+0325 (ring below) with U+030A (ring above) or U+2218 (ring operator)
- Assume a named HTML entity exists—there is none for U+0325
- Use CSS
\325inside HTML text nodes without a base character - Rely on the mark alone without context for screen readers
