I'm learning ancient Hebrew and wanted to make a document full of the vocabulary words I need to memorize so that I can study during my other classes. I noticed that OSX's built-in Hebrew fonts do not include the accent marker.
An example: the word for "darkness" is ??????. To represent that the accent is on the first syllable, there needs to be a < over the first letter. The accent could be in the middle of the word, so I can't just throw < at the front every time.
Does anyone have a free font that includes this? Any other elegant solutions are welcome.
Edit: I found that it is unicode character 05AB. Is there a way to add that to the built-in Hebrew fonts?
