Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+05B4 "ִ" Hebrew Point Hiriq is a combining diacritical mark used in the Hebrew script to represent the vowel sound /i/, similar to the "ee" in "see". Positioned as a small dot directly beneath a consonant letter, it is one of the several niqqud symbols that indicate vowels in pointed Hebrew texts, such as in the Bible, poetry, or language learning materials, where these marks clarify pronunciation. An example of its use is in the word "אִמָּא" (ima), meaning mother, where the Hiriq appears under the first letter, aleph (א), to denote the initial "i" sound.
