U+05C6 "׆" Hebrew Punctuation Nun Hafukha is a rare and ancient diacritical mark used in Hebrew manuscripts, most famously in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. It resembles a reversed or inverted Hebrew letter Nun, and its primary function is to denote a textual anomaly, such as a reversed order of letters or a section of text that is considered out of place or requires special attention during liturgical reading. In printed editions of the Bible, it appears as an indicator of these scribal corrections or comments, serving as a guide for readers rather than a phonetic or grammatical marker.
