I wouldn't recommend this. It's never a good idea to use characters
that are reserved in Unicode; you don't know what might end up there in
the future, and the display may be erratic (sometimes an empty
rectangle, sometimes nothing).
How about a space followed by the combining underdot (U+0323)? Or one
of the other combining characters that goes under the letter? If the
regular space is too wide or narrow too look good, Cardo contains all
the Unicode space characters (U+2000--U+200B), so take your choice.
