Comment (by zodiac1978):

 Thanks to some testing from @florianbrinkmann I have some more info to
 share:

  Digging a little deeper, I found out the following: A long time ago, SIL
 had the character »HEBREW MARK LOWER DOT« (sounds like the thing I see in
 Firefox) in its SIL Corporate PUA (Private Use Area) at the code U+F301.
 It changed to U+05C5 in Unicode 4.1
 https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=PUA_Deprecated

  So I guess, Windows has fonts that still support that character on that
 301 position, and at least in Firefox and Chrome, one of that fonts is
 used. Times New Roman, for example, seems to have the dot in that place:
