U+FB3A "ךּ" Hebrew Letter Final Kaf with Dagesh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ךּ
U+FB3A "ךּ" Hebrew Letter Final Kaf with Dagesh is a precomposed representation of the Hebrew letter Kaf in its final form, used exclusively at the end of a word, combined with a dagesh, a dot placed inside the letter to indicate a hardened pronunciation. This glyph simplifies the typographic representation of the letter in certain contexts where the dagesh modifies the sound from a fricative to a plosive, as in the k sound versus the kh sound, though in modern Hebrew, the distinction is often not strictly maintained. It belongs to the Unicode block for alphabetic presentation forms, designed to preserve the visual integrity of the character in specific digital environments or legacy text handling systems.
