U+0593 "֓" Hebrew Accent Shalshelet is a cantillation mark used in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible, specifically to indicate a unique and rare musical or rhetorical pause. Its name, Shalshelet, means "chain" in Hebrew, reflecting the trilling or wavy sequence of notes it represents in the chanting tradition. This accent appears only four times in the entire Tanakh: in the books of Genesis, Leviticus, Isaiah, and Psalms, often attached to a word to draw attention to a moment of hesitation or heightened drama in the narrative.
