Each of these items are actually two characters in Unicode that are combined via ligatures or mark-to-base features in the font. The dotted circle is 0x25CC, and the marks you have here are 0x301, 0x300, and 0x303 - each of these are designed to combine with the previous character, but there are non-combining versions of each of these: 0x2CA, 0x2CB, and 0x2DC.

So you can delete the dotted circle from the beginning of the character (it may be difficult to figure out where this character is, since the marks have a width of zero), and replace it with a space, but it may display in odd ways depending on what's surrounding it:

  1. ́
  2. ̀
  3. ̃

Or use the non-combining versions of these marks:

  1. ˊ
  2. ˋ
  3. ˜
