Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Hebrew Source: Browser Default

U+FB4B "" Hebrew Letter Vav with Holam is a presentation form of the Hebrew letter Vav that includes a precomposed holam, a dot placed above the letter to indicate the vowel sound "o". This character is categorized as an alphabetic presentation form, designed specifically for compatibility with certain Hebrew text processing systems that require the vowel mark to be integrated into a single glyph, rather than using a separate combining diacritic. It is used in writing Hebrew words where the Vav functions as a consonant or as a mater lectionis for the long "o" vowel, and its inclusion in Unicode helps ensure accurate representation and interchange of religious and modern Hebrew texts.
