This circle mark is used with hiragana or katakana to indicate a change from a hahihuheho sound to a papipupepo sound.

Hope this helps.
Actually, it does. I was watching a podcast that was explaining about adding the marks, but it was something I had found and bookmarked. I'll look at it again right now. Thank you so much!


Cut down your discomfort wings.
