What do you put behind a decimal when it repeats?

If you're dealing with a recurring decimal then it is common practice to place a dot over the digit that recurs, e.g. the fraction 1/3 written as a decimal would have a dot placed over the second or third digit (in this case a 3) behind the decimal point to idicate that it recurrs infinitely.
