U+05BB "ֻ" Hebrew Point Qubuts Unicode Character

U+05BB "ֻ" Hebrew Point Qubuts is a diacritical mark used in the Hebrew writing system, classified as a niqqud or vowel point. It represents the short 'u' vowel sound and is typically placed below a consonant letter to indicate that it is followed by that specific vowel. In modern Hebrew, Qubuts is visually identical to the shuruk point, but it differs in usage: while shuruk is placed inside the letter Vav to form a long 'u', Qubuts is a standalone dot positioned under any consonant to denote a short 'u'. This character is encoded for digital text to accurately represent biblical and liturgical Hebrew as well as certain modern contexts where precise vowelization is required.
