U+05A1 "֡" Hebrew Accent Pazer Unicode Character

U+05A1 "֡" Hebrew Accent Pazer is a diacritical mark used in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible, functioning as a disjunctive accent (a type of te'amim) that indicates a major pause or division in the reading of a verse, often separating clauses or emphasizing a specific word. Its distinctive shape resembles three dots positioned above the consonant, and it is typically placed on the syllable bearing the primary stress of the word it accompanies. While less common than accents like the Tifcha or Segol, the Pazer serves a crucial role in the cantillation system, guiding the rhythm and interpretive phrasing during a formal Torah reading.
