Unicode character?

edit

IS there a Unicode character for it? I'm using an Ubuntu distro (pardon the anonymity..) 5.22.129.238 (talk) 17:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Redirect from Baruch Hashem

edit

Currently, there is a redirect from Baruch Hashem to this article, yet there is no reference specifically to this phrase in the article. There is reference to B"H (ב"ה) as an abbreviation for B'ezrat Hashem. It seems B"H might also be an abbreviation for Baruch Hashem? Isn't the meaning also different (literally "bless G_d" or "G_d bless *")?

It seems that the redirect should be removed, as it isn't directly relevant to Besiyata Dishmaya (except that it's something commonly written as a I-don't-know-what-to-call-it ("prescript", maybe)). Alternatively, if there are other common "prescripts", this article could be changed to one more generally about "prescripts" and have sections added for others, like Baruch Hashem. Or maybe to start with, just adding mention of this meaning of B"H and changing the redirect to point to that section?

Or am I missing something? —[AlanM1(talk)]— 09:34, 11 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

They are used in the same way. Indeed B"H is also Baruch HaShem, and this should be added to the article. Debresser (talk) 13:52, 11 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

If this is aramaic why is it written in hebrew(assyrian) script?

edit

Shouldn't this be written in Aramaic (one of the Syriac scripts)?

I can't figure it out, but I believe it's something like this:

ܒܣܝܥܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ

ܒܨܺܝܑܬܑ ܒܫܡܲܝ̈

Because it is an Aramaic phrase that is mostly written in Hebrew. That is because in the past Jews have used Aramaic, and this is how the phrase was created, but today Jews do not use Aramaic, at least not as an every-day language; Even if using languages other than Hebrew as an every-day language, when writing this phrase it is mostly written in Hebrew as בס"ד. --Midrashah (talk) 03:04, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
For example see this image:
