U+FB4A "תּ" Hebrew Letter Tav with Dagesh Unicode Character

U+FB4A "תּ" Hebrew Letter Tav with Dagesh is a precomposed form of the Hebrew letter Tav (ת) combined with a dagesh, a diacritical dot placed inside the letter to indicate a hard, plosive pronunciation or to mark gemination in certain contexts. This character is part of the Unicode block for Alphabetic Presentation Forms, which was created to support legacy text encoding and ensure proper rendering of typographic ligatures in Hebrew script. In modern Hebrew, the dagesh does not typically alter the pronunciation of Tav, which is generally pronounced as /t/, but the character remains important for accurate representation of liturgical or Biblical texts where the dot carries phonetic or grammatical significance.
