U+05BE "־" Hebrew Punctuation Maqaf Unicode Character

U+05BE "־" Hebrew Punctuation Maqaf is a horizontal bar used in Hebrew writing as a hyphen-like connector, primarily to join words or parts of words in compound terms, similar to a hyphen in English, though it is placed higher than a typical hyphen and aligns with the top of the Hebrew letters rather than the baseline. It appears in contexts such as linking numbers to words, forming certain grammatical constructs, or connecting elements in poetry and biblical text, and is distinct from other dash-like characters in Unicode to ensure proper typographic rendering in Hebrew script.
