I'm wondering what U+05C4 HEBREW MARK UPPER DOT is supposed to be used for. Specifically, I'm trying to make sense of two characters that I know are used and that are similar in appearance, and determine which (if either) is 05C4. There's a hundreds mark - a dot placed over consonants to indicated that the numerical value of the consonant has a multiplier of 100. Then there's the punctum, which is found, for example, in Genesis 33:4:9. The punctum has a diamond shape in the BHS, which makes me inclined to think that 05C4 is the hundreds mark and not the punctum.
I'm guessing that 05C4 came into Unicode from an Israeli standard. Does anybody know if that's the case and, if so, how the corresponding character in that standard was used? - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
