Hebrew Point Hataf Segol Letter Meaning
Hebrew Point Hataf Segol (ֱ) is a vowel sign from the Hebrew niqqud system. It is used in vowel-pointed Hebrew to convey how a vowel should be pronounced, typically in combination with a surrounding Hebrew letter. The “hataf” group marks reduced or composite vowel sounds; in practice, the symbol functions as a precise, standardized diacritic that can change how readers interpret a word’s vocalization. When you copy or type this mark, it is intended to appear alongside the base Hebrew character it modifies, and it relies on proper font support for correct display.
