Is this really important? Does anybody actually use "Kaf with Dagesh" ? Why does it even exist? :( I noticed there are even more bizarre characters, like "HEBREW LETTER ALEF WITH MAPIQ" (!?), "HEBREW LIGATURE ALEF LAMED", "HEBREW LETTER WIDE ALEF", "HEBREW LETTER ALEF WITH QAMATS" (Is Yiddish called Hebrew now??) "HEBREW LETTER ALTERNATIVE AYIN", and other junk. Why do these exit? This is sad.
