U+FB32 "גּ" Hebrew Letter Gimel with Dagesh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FB32 "גּ" Hebrew Letter Gimel with Dagesh is a precomposed form of the Hebrew letter Gimel combined with a dagesh, a dot placed inside the letter to indicate either a change in pronunciation (historically a plosive rather than fricative sound) or gemination (doubling of the consonant). This character belongs to the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block of Unicode, which provides compatibility for older digital text encodings, and it is used primarily in Hebrew script to ensure proper display in contexts where a dagesh is required, such as in liturgical texts, biblical references, or precise typography.
