U+FB2D "שּׂ" Hebrew Letter Shin with Dagesh and Sin Dot Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
שּׂ
U+FB2D "שּׂ" Hebrew Letter Shin with Dagesh and Sin Dot is a precomposed Hebrew typographic ligature used primarily in liturgical or biblical texts to represent the Hebrew letter shin with both a dagesh (a dot placed inside the letter indicating a plosive pronunciation or gemination) and a sin dot, which is placed over the left arm of the letter to specify the "sin" sound (/s/) rather than the "shin" sound. This complex character is encoded in the Unicode standard's Alphabetic Presentation Forms block to support accurate rendering of foundational Hebrew manuscripts and prayer books where such diacritic combinations must appear as a single, unambiguous glyph for precise textual fidelity.
