U+02D9 Dot Above
U+02D9 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Spacing Modifier Letters in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Modifier Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. It is also used in the scripts Bopomofo, Latin.
The glyph is a compatibility composition of the glyphs Space, Combining Dot Above. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+02D9 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
When used as a diacritic mark, the term dot refers to the glyphs "combining dot above" (◌̇), and "combining dot below" (◌̣) which may be combined with some letters of the extended Latin alphabets in use in a variety of languages. Similar marks are used with other scripts.
