About this character

U+309A (◌゚) is COMBINING KATAKANA-HIRAGANA SEMI-VOICED SOUND MARK, a non-spacing combining mark in the Hiragana block. Its script is Inherited: it takes on the script of the character it attaches to. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

As a combining mark it has no advance width of its own and attaches to the preceding base character. Type or paste the base letter first, then this mark. Its canonical combining class is 8 (Kana Voicing), which normalization uses to order stacked marks. See combining diacritical marks.

Its East Asian Width is Wide, so terminals and monospaced layouts give it two columns.
