Letter with circle above -- not a dot -- in math mode

Question

I need to typeset letter with a circle above it in math. \dot A does a very close result, but I need something that looks like \circ, not like \cdot.

Edit: there is awesome answer here, but Detexify failed for me, and I tried looking up tables, but haven't found what I needed.

@AndrewSwann Sorry, I know that awesome site, but it have not given me answer. — Lapshin Dmitry, Apr 30 '15 at 09:00
I was not thinking of detexify, but of texdoc symbols given as the first option in the top answer - table 164 Math mode accents, the same table containg \dot. That not only answers your question, but tells you how to find answers to similar questions. — Andrew Swann, Apr 30 '15 at 09:59
@AndrewSwann Thanks. As I mentioned, I was searching there, but haven't succeeded. — Lapshin Dmitry, Apr 30 '15 at 10:02

I'd avoid the first: \mathring is the correct answer – egreg Apr 30 '15 at 09:22
