U+FB46 "צּ" Hebrew Letter Tsadi with Dagesh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
צּ
U+FB46 "צּ" Hebrew Letter Tsadi with Dagesh is a precomposed form of the Hebrew letter tsadi (צ) combined with a dagesh, a diacritical dot placed inside the letter to indicate a hardened or geminated pronunciation. This character belongs to the Unicode block "Alphabetic Presentation Forms," which was created to support legacy encoding systems and simplify text rendering for certain scripts. In Hebrew, the dagesh can modify the sound of the tsadi, though in modern usage, the distinction is often phonetic or historical. The glyph typically appears with the dot centered within the letter, and its standard Unicode name reflects both the base character and the diacritic.
