Ring above

U+02DA · Spacing Modifier Letters

Meaning and uses

A small ring that sits high on the line, the same mark that appears above the å in Swedish. On its own it reads as a tiny star or bubble in aesthetic text: ˚₊‧.

Unicode details

˚ is the Unicode character named RING ABOVE, code point U+02DA, in the Spacing Modifier Letters block. It was added in Unicode 1.1 in 1993, and Unicode classes it as a modifier symbol (general category Sk).

It is not an emoji, so it keeps the colour and size of the text around it.
