    \(\mathrm H\,⋅\)        or        \(\overset⬝{\mathrm H}\)        or        \(⋅\,\mathrm H\)        or        \(\underset⬝{\mathrm H}\)

     

    Two paired dots:

    \(\mathrm{He:}\)

    \(\mathrm{He:}\)        or        \(\overset{⬝\,⬝}{\mathrm {He}}\)        or        \(\mathrm{:He}\)        or        \(\underset{⬝\,⬝}{\mathrm {He}}\)

     

    Two unpaired dots:

    \(⋅\,\mathrm{Xy}\,⋅\)
