Nikud

Nikud is an esoteric stack-based programming language based solely on the Hebrew Niqqud diacritics by Github user bary12.
Because Niqqud diacritics are combining characters, Nikud programs are typically one character wide. Other characters can be present, but they are ignored by the interpreter.
Examples
The following code (336 characters, 672 bytes) outputs Hello, World!
