John,
1) You were correct about 0307 and 030a. Design-wise they match the DJD dot
and circle. They've got more body then 05c4 and 05a5.
2) 0307 works great. Type your text in Hebrew and - staying in the Hebrew
keyboard - go back to the letter over which you want the point, position the
cursor in front of it, type 0307 ALT-X, and you've got it.
3) 030a is a nightmare. Type in your Hebrew text. Go back to the letter
over which you want the circle, position the cursor before it. Type 030a
Alt-X. The program cuts all of the line from the selected letter on, pastes
it in front of the first letter in the line and puts the mark over what was
formerly the first letter in the line. You can - of course - cut and paste
back to the original format, but the mark is still over the first letter of
the line, not over the letter selected originally.

John,
I forgot to tell you about the nightmare. You have to switch to the English
keyboard to start the nightmare. Entering 030a in the Hebrew keyboard
results in nothing - i.e. the program switches the code to something else.

You are trying all this in SBL Hebrew? U+030A is not supported in the font yet: there is no glyph for it and no mapping in the cmap table. So what is probably happening in Word, if you are trying this with SBL Hebrew, is that Word is switching fonts for this character, and this is messing up the directionality of the line.

No, John, I tried it with Arial Unicode MS, the only Word font that supports
these characters and the font that Word automatically activates when you
tyupe a code followed by ALT-X. When do you expect to have all this on the
SBL font?

Unfortunately, I delivered one version of the font to SBL not long ago, and I'm a bit too busy to do another uprgade just now. But I'll discuss this with the SBL folk and see what their release plans are.
