U+05C2 "ׂ" Hebrew Point Sin Dot is a combining diacritical mark used in the Hebrew script, specifically applied above the letter Shin (ש) to indicate that the letter is pronounced as a "sin" with an "s" sound, as opposed to the alternative "sh" sound of the "shin" variant. This dot is part of the system of niqqud (vocalization points) and serves a phonological role, distinguishing words like "שָׂר" (sar, meaning minister) from "שַׁר" (shar, meaning to sing). It visually appears as a small dot placed over the rightmost stroke of the Hebrew letter Shin and is encoded in the Unicode block for Hebrew points.
