I would like to make all the Hebrew letters without loading up my preamble.

I looked at this post but I didn't see if all the letters could be made.

As of right now, the main letter i want is waw

What are TeX codes for Hebrew letters to be used as math-mode symbols?

    If you know how to display Hebrew letters in text mode, define \newcommand\mathvav{\textup{ו}}. – Davislor Nov 21 '21 at 08:54
  • There are also some mathematical Hebrew letter-like symbols defined in Unicode that you can use with univode-math. – Davislor Nov 21 '21 at 08:56
  • After looking for the shape of waw and checking in the table in my answer to the question you linked, I guess that waw is at slot "4E, so you can do \DeclareMathSymbol{\waw}{\mathord}{hebrewletters}{"4E} – egreg Nov 21 '21 at 09:02
  • Added an updated answer to the earlier question, which we might want to redirect this one to? – Davislor Nov 22 '21 at 04:59

Here is a sample that works in LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX. I use Libertinus as an example of a font that contains Hebrew letters, but you can use any font that does.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{libertinus} % For example

\newcommand\mathvav{\textup{\symbol{"05D5}}} % ו


\begin{document}
\section*{The Symbol (\mathvav)}


( f(t) \cdot \mathvav )
\end{document}

Libertinus sample

You can use any text-mode command within the \textup or \textnormal commands from amsmath (which libertinus loads indirectly), including changing to a Hebrew font.
