U+05C3 "׃" Hebrew Punctuation Sof Pasuq is a punctuation mark used in Hebrew script to indicate the end of a verse, primarily in biblical and liturgical texts, functioning similarly to a period or full stop in English. It is visually represented by two vertically aligned dots, resembling a colon but positioned differently, and is distinct from other Hebrew punctuation such as the colon or the period. This character is an essential part of the Masoretic system of cantillation marks and verse division, helping to structure and delineate passages in the Hebrew Bible.
