U+05B3 "ֳ" Hebrew Point Hataf Qamats is a diacritical mark used in the Hebrew script, specifically belonging to the niqqud system of vowel signs. It represents a reduced or "hataf" version of the qamats vowel, indicating a short "o" sound (like the "o" in "four") and is typically placed below a consonant letter to denote the vowel for that syllable. This character is part of a set of compound vowel points that combine a short shva with a full vowel sign, and it appears in biblical and liturgical texts where precise vocalization is required, though it is rarely used in modern Israeli Hebrew.
