Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FB39 "יּ" Hebrew Letter Yod with Dagesh is a precomposed ligature form of the Hebrew letter yod, which is the tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, combined with a dot inside it called a dagesh. This dagesh typically indicates a gemination or a hard pronunciation of the consonant, though in modern Hebrew the letter yod generally represents the consonant sound "y" and the dagesh does not change this sound in colloquial speech. The character is part of the Unicode "Alphabetic Presentation Forms" block, designed to support efficient text rendering in Hebrew and other Semitic scripts, ensuring that the combined diacritical mark is displayed correctly without relying on separate character combinations.
