the Hebrew equivalent of:
"fill in the missing letters:

          'The app_e was _ed on one side and __een on the other'
or
          'The app*e was *ed on one side and **een on the other'
"
in Hebrew, I have see "X" and "_" with NIKOD on them, mainly when
learning LAASHON (Hebrew advanced spelling and so on)
