Oh yeah, fun fact about this document that I linked at the outset: I
found it like 10 years ago when researching something unrelated... it
apparently is a ruling opposing an earlier announcement by another group
of Rabbis, declaring it void. And looking at the rabbis they say are

Yet another usage in a mathematical context of an aleph with umlaut can
be found here, however they used U+2135 ALEF SYMBOL instead of U+05D0

Dear Mark,
I found another sample here:
https://www.marketscreener.com/BRILL-5240571/pdf/61308/Brill_Report.pdf
On page 86 it says that the aleph with diaresis is a number with the value 1000.

However, seems that there is no real font support for these characters,
though. The only font on my computer, which could render aleph
+ umlaut correctly on my system was Unifont and
roughly Linux Libertine. Other fonts, in particular Arial, DejaVu Sans,
Liberation Sans and Linux Biolinum
Noticed something really fascinating in an old pamphlet I was

standardization, but seems to be significantly more faithful to
