U+05E3 "ף" Hebrew Letter Final Pe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ף
U+05E3 "ף" Hebrew Letter Final Pe is the contextual final form of the Hebrew letter Pe, used exclusively at the end of a word, where it replaces the standard "פ" form. In the Hebrew alphabet, this character carries a numeric value of 80 in gematria and represents a bilabial /p/ sound, though when a dagesh is absent it softens to an /f/ sound. Unlike its medial counterpart, the final Pe is always closed at the bottom and has a distinct, extended vertical stroke, making it visually unique in position-dependent Hebrew script.
