U+FB43 "ףּ" Hebrew Letter Final Pe with Dagesh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ףּ
U+FB43 "ףּ" Hebrew Letter Final Pe with Dagesh is a presentation form glyph representing the final (sofit) form of the Hebrew letter Pe, which is only used at the end of a word, combined with a dagesh, a diacritical dot placed inside the letter to indicate a plosive (hard) pronunciation, in this case a /p/ sound rather than the fricative /f/ sound of a Pe without a dagesh. This character exists in the Unicode standard primarily for compatibility with older text encoding systems, as in modern Hebrew typography, the dagesh can be encoded as a combining character separate from the base letter, though this precomposed form ensures correct display in legacy fonts and documents.
