“ֿ” U+05BF: Hebrew Point Rafe

ℹ️ About

The Hebrew Point Rafe (ֿ) is a diacritic mark used in Masoretic Hebrew to indicate that a consonant is a “fricative” (soft) rather than “plosive.” While largely obsolete in modern Hebrew, it remains vital in Yiddish orthography and biblical scholarship. As a Nonspacing Mark, it combines with the character that precedes it.
