Source: Browser Default
U+05B6 "ֶ" Hebrew Point Segol is a combining diacritical mark used in the Hebrew script, specifically a niqqud vowel point that indicates the sound /ɛ/, similar to the "e" in the English word "bed." This character is placed beneath a consonant letter to modify its pronunciation and is a fundamental component of biblical and modern Hebrew vocalization, helping to clarify meanings in texts where vowel marks are included. The Segol is visually represented as three small dots arranged in a triangular formation under the consonant, and it plays a key role in linguistic studies, religious readings, and language education.
