The Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex has 18 instances of a resh
(x05E8) followed by a dagesh (x05BC) in 12 books of the Tanach.
To see where they are, go to the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex at
Go to the Supplements page by clicking the Supplements link in the
upper, left corner. On the Supplements page the second link down is for
a text search, click it to arrive at the Search page. Enter the
following parameters:
"Search Tanach for hexadecimal values 5E8 5BC (in the text window)
comparing accents and including both variants. Show verses and counts. "
and press Search. The verses appear with the resh-dagesh in blue.
There's no distinction between the dagesh, dehik, etc, as these are
simply Unicode Hebrew internal dots.
