In my experience, a dotted circle is an indication that there's a
non-base character which needs a base character before it, but there's
no suitable base character. If you type a Unicode Combining Acute
Accent (U+0301), but there's no base character (like a vowel)
preceding it, you'll get such a dotted circle.
If I'm not mistaken, U+1133E is the Grantha Vowel Sign Aa. Maybe it
needs a consonant to its left?
Correct. It might work to use U+00A0 there if you want the vowel sign
with no visible consonant:
{\char"A0\char"1133E}
Alternatively, a workaround might be to look up the glyph ID with
\XeTeXcharglyph and then print it using \XeTeXglyph, so something like:
{\XeTeXglyph\XeTeXcharglyph"1133E}
should produce the desired glyph by itself.
(The spacing of these two options will be different, as the first uses
no-break space as a base for the cluster, whereas the second just prints
the vowel-sign glyph with no extra spacing.)

Bonjour,
I want to use some glyph using the command \symbol. In some case I get a
glyph with a dotted circle, how can I get the glyph without this circle?
For instance, if I type \symbol{"1133E}, I get this as a result after
compilation: 𑌾 with a dotted circle before.
Is it possible to eliminate the circle? And how?
Thank you.
