U+0596 "֖" Hebrew Accent Tipeha is a cantillation mark used in Biblical Hebrew texts to indicate a specific musical or prosodic tone for recitation, typically serving as a conjunctive accent that links words together under a single stress pattern. It appears below the consonant of the accented syllable, and its name, "Tipeha" (also spelled Tifcha or Tiphcha), derives from the Aramaic word for "breaking" or "downward" and it is often the final accent in a verse before the concluding sof pasuk mark.
