The sub-point as a sub- sign occurs in European languages ​​only in some dialects of Asturian (ḥ and ḷḷ) - but not in the spelling of the standard Asturian language . However, it is more common in non-European languages ​​and in transliterations .

Occurrence

In Vietnamese , the point under a vowel denotes one of the tones. It can appear under any vowel in the Vietnamese alphabet .

In some Asturian varieties, Ḥ is used for the voiceless glottal fricative . The western dialect also has the digraph Ḷḷ.

In Yoruba the letters Ẹ, Ọ and Ṣ occur with a sub-point.

The Marshallesian language uses the letters Ḷ, Ṃ, Ṇ and Ọ with a subsection.

In German dictionaries, a point under a vowel indicates the accent and the short pronunciation of this vowel ( example: ladle).

In the transliteration of Hindi and other Indian languages , a point under the consonants Ḍ, Ṭ, Ṇ, Ṛ and Ḷ denotes the retroflex pronunciation. Sometimes the vowel r and l are also marked with the sub-point, which is especially true for the paraphrase of Sanskrit .

In the transliteration of Arabic , a dot under the consonants Ḍ, Ṣ, Ṭ and Ẓ denotes emphatic pronunciation.

Character sets

In the character encodings ASCII and ISO 8859 , neither the sub-item nor finished letters with sub-item appear.

Unicode contains a number of pre-assembled characters with a sub-item and can represent any characters with a sub-item by adding a combining sub-item (Unicode U + 0323).

TeX and LaTeX

TeX and LaTeX can represent any characters with a subsection. There is also the command in text mode for the text sentence \d tthat uses a ṭ. This does not work in Wiki-TeX.
