Source: Noto Sans Hebrew Source: Browser Default

U+FB47 "" Hebrew Letter Qof with Dagesh is a precomposed form of the Hebrew letter Qof, which is the nineteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, combined with a dagesh, a dot placed inside the letter to indicate a hardened or geminated pronunciation. This character is part of the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block in Unicode, specifically designed to support text with diacritical marks like the dagesh, which in the case of Qof typically denotes a plosive "k" sound as opposed to the fricative sound it can have in some contexts. Historically, its encoding simplifies the representation of Hebrew text with these marks for better compatibility with legacy systems and digital fonts, allowing for accurate rendering in religious, linguistic, and scholarly contexts where precise pronunciation is important.
