ℹ️ About
The Hebrew Letter Alef (א) is the first character of the Hebrew alphabet. Technically classified as an “Other Letter” (Lo), it functions as a glottal stop or a silent carrier for vowels. It requires Right-to-Left (RTL) bidirectional handling and is fundamental to the Hebrew script’s encoding architecture.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with the mathematical symbol ℵ (U+2135), which is used specifically for transfinite numbers.
