Hebrew Accent Atnah Hafukh Letter Meaning
֢ is the Hebrew accent named atnah hafukhn (unicode name: HEBREW ACCENT ATNAH HAFUKH). It is part of the Hebrew cantillation (trope) system, which adds musical and syntactic guidance to the reading of scripture and other Hebrew texts. Like many Hebrew marks, it is written as a combining mark that visually attaches to nearby letters rather than standing alone. Because it’s an accent mark, it is most often encountered in texts that explicitly include vowel/cantillation notation, digitized documents, and typography sets that support Hebrew diacritics.
