U+05C1 "ׁ" Hebrew Point Shin Dot Unicode Character

U+05C1 "ׁ" Hebrew Point Shin Dot is a diacritical mark used in the Hebrew script, specifically associated with the letter Shin (ש). This dot, when placed over the upper right corner of the letter Shin, indicates that it should be pronounced as "sh" rather than "s," effectively distinguishing it from the letter Sin in vowel-pointed or cantillated text. It is a standard component in Biblical Hebrew and liturgical contexts, where correct pronunciation is critical, and appears in the Hebrew block of Unicode (U+0590 to U+05FF). Unlike vowel points such as Kamatz or Patach, this dot is a consonant marking that modifies the phonetic value of the base character without altering its meaning.
