U+05E5 "ץ" Hebrew Letter Final Tsadi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+05E5 "ץ" Hebrew Letter Final Tsadi is the distinct, final form of the Hebrew letter Tsadi, used exclusively at the end of a word in Hebrew script. While the standard Tsadi (צ) appears in the beginning or middle of a word, this character extends its base stroke downward when written in final position, representing the same consonant sound, a voiceless alveolar affricate similar to the "ts" in "cats." This letter is a part of the Hebrew alphabet's final orthographic variants, known as soffit letters, which are essential for proper written Hebrew and carry no change in pronunciation from its medial counterpart. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate digital representation of Hebrew texts that maintain traditional scribal conventions.
