U+05AD "֭" Hebrew Accent Dehi Unicode Character

U+05AD "֭" Hebrew Accent Dehi is a cantillation mark used in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible to indicate a specific pattern of musical or rhythmic phrasing for the chanting of scripture. This accent, also known as the Dehi, functions as a conjunctive trope, meaning it binds the word it appears on to the following word, typically preceding the more prominent disjunctive accent called the Zarkha. It is visually represented in printed texts as a small, angled stroke above the stressed syllable of a word, and its placement and function are essential for the correct liturgical recitation of biblical passages according to traditional Jewish cantillation systems.
