Gershayim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gershayim (״) is a punctuation mark used in the Hebrew language to denote acronyms. It is written before the last letter in the acronym (for example, צה״ל stands for צבא ההגנה לישראל).
Gershayim is also a note of cantillation in the reading of the Torah, printed above the accented letter.
[edit] Computer encoding
Since most keyboards do not have a gershayim key, often people will substitute a quotation mark.
