A question here for clarification. One of the few modern Hebrew books I have, a teach yourself course, has dialogues in which speakers' names and quote introductions are followed by what looks to me like sof pasuq (two diamonds above one another). These are clearly functions of colon in English, and indeed colons are used in the English translations of the dialogues. The same book uses a diamond shaped full stop at the ends of sentences. Should these apparent sof pasuqs be encoded as sof pasuq, or as colon?
Sof Pasuq is the equivalent of a period or full stop.
If both colon and sof pasuq are used in Hebrew with nearly identical glyphs, that strengthens my case for including sof pasuq in Marco's list. It also implies that fonts designed for Hebrew need colons with suitable glyphs with diamonds in place of dots, something which many don't currently have.
