The following blocks are dedicated specifically to combining characters:

*Combining Diacritical Marks (0300–036F), since version 1.0, with modifications in subsequent versions down to 4.1
*Combining Diacritical Marks Extended (1AB0–1AFF), version 7.0
*Combining Diacritical Marks Supplement (1DC0–1DFF), versions 4.1 to 5.2
*Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols (20D0–20FF), since version 1.0, with modifications in subsequent versions down to 5.1
*Cyrillic Extended-A (2DE0–2DFF), version 5.1
*Combining Half Marks (FE20–FE2F), versions 1.0, with modifications in subsequent versions down to 8.0

Combining characters are not limited to these blocks; for instance, the combining [[dakuten]] (U+3099) and combining [[handakuten]] (U+309A) are in the [[Hiragana (Unicode block)|Hiragana block]], the [[Devanagari (Unicode block)|Devanagari]] block contains combining vowel signs and other marks for use with that script, and so forth. Combining characters are assigned the [[Unicode character property#General Category|Unicode major category]] "M" ("Mark").

* U+0349&nbsp;{{IPA|◌͉}}: weak articulation
* U+034A&nbsp;{{IPA|◌͊}}: [[denasal]]

Codepoints U+034B&ndash;034E are IPA diacritics for [[disordered speech]]:
* U+034B&nbsp;{{IPA|◌͋}}: nasal escape
* U+034C&nbsp;{{IPA|◌͌}}: velopharyngeal friction
* U+034D&nbsp;{{IPA|◌͍}}: labial spreading

U+034F is the "[[combining grapheme joiner]]" (CGJ) and has no visible glyph.

Codepoints U+035C&ndash;0362 are [[Diacritics#Types|double diacritics]], diacritic signs placed across two letters.

Codepoints U+0363&ndash;036F are medieval superscript letter diacritics, letters written directly above other letters appearing in medieval Germanic manuscripts, but in some instances in use until as late as the 19th century. For example, U+0364 is an ''e'' written above the preceding letter, to be used for ([[Early New High German|Early]]) [[New High German]] [[Umlaut (diacritic)|umlaut]] notation, such as ''uͤ'' for Modern German ''ü''.
