Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FB2E "אַ" Hebrew Letter Alef with Patah is a precomposed form of the Hebrew letter Alef (א) combined with the Patah vowel diacritic, which represents the "a" sound as in "father". This character is part of the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block and serves as a typographic ligature or presentation form, allowing for more precise rendering in certain contexts such as liturgical texts or when a combined glyph is preferred for clarity. It is distinct from the standard sequence of Alef followed by a combining Patah, as it encodes the base letter and its vowel as a single unit, ensuring consistent appearance across different fonts and platforms.
