I must have just been duped into thinking it was the same textual signal. ItI hope that for Unicode purposes we can make the same mistake that Jason has, and not have to define a new combining character which looks like a rafe but isn't one.
looks the same, anyway! LOL

Subject: [b-hebrew] "Rafe" and the vocal sheva.
Mesorah Publications, in its Artscroll prayerbook series (i.e. "SiddurEitz
Chaim") uses a rafe-like horizontal line above a sheva-ed consonant torafe,
indicate a vocal sheva (sh'va na) except for the consonant that is the
first in the word. This is very helpful, but has nothing to do with a
as I understand it.
