 * The extension character work in some nastaliq fonts, but not windows Urdu Typesetting, one of the most common Nastaliq fonts (see above). This could be solved by using zero width joiner wiktionary: ‍ instead of Tatweel wiktionary: ـ

Latin equivalent of ה
The statement He, like all Phoenician letters, represented a consonant, but the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic equivalents have all come to represent vowel sounds. is confusing, because the Hebrew letter has the same pronunciation as the English letter H, not of the letter E. --Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Mappiq in Hebrew
The text Although indistinguishable for most modern speakers or readers of Hebrew, the mapiq is placed in a word-final Hei to indicate that the letter is not merely a mater lectionis but the consonant should be aspirated in that position. It is generally used in Hebrew to indicate the third-person feminine singular genitive marker. Today, such a pronunciation only occurs in religious contexts and even then often only by careful readers of the scriptures. is unclear for two reasons

First, the Mappiq reverses the order of pataḥ and consonant, e.g., אֱלֹהַּ is pronounced eloah rather than eloha.

Second, in Smichut, the final changes to a   (Tav), at least in Modern Hebrew. --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 14:56, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
