U+05B9 "ֹ" Hebrew Point Holam is a diacritical mark used in the Hebrew script, specifically a vowel notation called a "niqqud" point that is placed above a letter, typically to the left of its top, to indicate the "o" vowel sound. It appears as a small dot and is utilized in conjunction with consonant letters in pointed Hebrew text, such as in Biblical or liturgical contexts, to specify pronunciation, distinguishing words like "שָׁלוֹם" (shalom, meaning peace) where it modifies the reading of the letter Vav or other letters.
