Unicode Version 17.0
שּׁ
U+FB2C "שּׁ" Hebrew Letter Shin with Dagesh and Shin Dot is a precomposed Hebrew ligature used in biblical and liturgical texts to represent the letter shin, specifically for the variant pronunciation indicating it is voiced or articulated with a "sh" sound, as distinguished from the sin with a "s" sound, combined with a dagesh mark that denotes a gemination or changed pronunciation. This character ensures precise representation in digital typography, preserving the orthographic detail required for accurate religious and scholarly transcription, where the shin dot is placed above the letter’s right arm and the dagesh appears inside its body.
