U+05A3 "֣" Hebrew Accent Munah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
֣
U+05A3 "֣" Hebrew Accent Munah is a cantillation mark used in the Hebrew Bible to indicate a specific musical or prosodic pattern during the chanting of the text. It functions as a conjunctive accent, meaning it links the word it appears under to the following word, without causing a pause or break in the flow of the verse. In the Tiberian system of biblical accents, Munah typically appears as a small, angled horizontal line placed above or below the consonant, and it is often associated with the "tevir" or "yetiv" accents in a sequence, helping to structure the rhythmic and melodic delivery of the sacred scripture.
