Subscript Symbols Keyboard.

Combining diacritics attach visually to a preceding base. To build n̩, insert n and then the combining syllabic mark. The result looks compact, but contains a base and a mark. Positioning the caret after a closing bracket instead would put the mark in the wrong textual context.

The keys display isolated marks with a dotted circle so their shapes are visible. That circle is a placeholder for a base, not part of the inserted value. Do not include it in a finished transcription unless you are discussing the mark itself. Inspect the combined output after insertion, especially with unfamiliar fonts.

The vertical mark in n̩ indicates syllabicity; the ring in n̥ indicates voicelessness. The tilde below in a̰ concerns voice quality, while the lowering mark in e̞ adjusts vowel quality. Choose the requested phonetic property first, then select its mark. Do not use a similar-looking symbol as a general accent.

IPA labels and Unicode names serve different purposes. A Unicode name identifies a stored character; the transcription convention supplies its linguistic use. The same combining shape may have other meanings in another writing system. In real analysis, add distinctions supported by the data and explain less familiar combinations rather than assuming their interpretation is obvious.

This layout mainly offers selected combining diacritics. It is not a full alphabet of small lowered letters for mathematical notation, and the folder name does not establish that every entry belongs to one official IPA class. Consult the IPA chart for phonetic use and the Unicode reference when you need precise character identification.

On the base layer, the apostrophe position supplies the syllabic mark and o supplies the voiceless ring below. Other layers add entries; blank positions are unavailable. Turn Smart IPA suggestions off for direct-key practice. Most base letters are absent, so paste the supplied base text first, then insert the diacritic at the exact caret position.
