FWIW, I don't see the behaviour you describe from 'emacs -Q' using a
checkout of the emacs-26 branch (what will be Emacs 26.2):
0. emacs -Q
1. M-: (insert "\u05e9\u05b8") RET
2. C-b C-u C-x =
This is what what-cursor-position reports:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
position: 146 of 147 (99%), column: 0
character: ש (displayed as ש) (codepoint 1513, #o2751, #x5e9)
charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x05E9
script: hebrew
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, R:Right-to-left (strong)
to input: type "C-x 8 RET 5e9" or "C-x 8 RET HEBREW LETTER SHIN"
buffer code: #xD7 #xA9
file code: #xD7 #xA9 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
display: composed to form "שָ" (see below)
Composed with the following character(s) "ָ" using this font:
xft:-PfEd-Linux Libertine Display O-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
[0 1 1513 1005 9 0 9 9 0 nil]
[0 1 1464 967 0 -7 -4 -1 4 [-8 0 0]]
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: HEBREW LETTER SHIN
general-category: Lo (Letter, Other)
decomposition: (1513) ('ש')
There are text properties here:
fontified t
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And attached is a screenshot of how it looks on my screen (scaled with
repeated calls to text-scale-adjust).
