If you find out who created it, you could point out to them that
there's a "Combining Diacritic" for dot-under, which might do what
they need without hanging around when the letter it's under is
deleted. (Somehow it knows to disappear when you delete its host
letter.)

Thanks again!

Can you select the dot? (Put the cursor before or after it and type
Shift-RightArrow or -LeftArrow.) If you can, then you can delete it --
but before you delete it, press Alt-X and it will tell you the Unicode
number for the character, and you can look it up in Insert Symbol.
