U+05AB "֫" Hebrew Accent Ole is a diacritical mark used in the Hebrew Bible, specifically within the Masoretic cantillation system, to indicate a specific musical note or trope for the liturgical chanting of scripture. Known as the Ole, this accent is typically placed above the stressed syllable of a word and functions as a conjunctive accent, linking the word to the following one in a phrase without a pause, often appearing in combination with the Yored accent to form a unified melodic unit. Its role is both musical and syntactic, helping to convey the proper phrasing and intonation prescribed by tradition for the public reading of the Tanakh.
