Do these have a name?

[LittleSpirit02]

I'm trying to come up with little puzzle/riddles but I don't know if these have a specific name...

For example:

1
_
1

One on one.


Or you write the word "Rosy" with a circle around it and it is "Ring around the Rosy."

What are these called? If you know any more, please share.
