U+059F "֟" Hebrew Accent Qarney Para Unicode Character

U+059F "֟" Hebrew Accent Qarney Para is a rare and archaic cantillation mark used in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible to indicate a specific musical or prosodic pattern for chanting. Its name, meaning "horns of a cow," likely comes from the shape of its symbol which resembles a pair of horns. This accent belongs to a specialized set of poetic cantillation marks, distinguishing it from the more common prose accents, and is found only in a limited number of verses in the books of Psalms, Job, and Proverbs. Its function is to guide the intonation and phrasing of the text during liturgical recitation, though it is no longer in active use in modern synagogue practices.
