Is there a way to type Niqqud on iOS?

On my iPod touch I am able to type basic Hebrew characters by adding a Hebrew international keyboard.

Is there some way for me to type Hebrew vowels (Niqqud) [without using any specialized apps]?

Solution 1:

I think not, only by using a hardware keyboard or via copy/paste from another doc or an app like Unicode Maps. You might be able to make a custom layout as well with Unicode Maps. Also have a look at Keyman.

A 3rd party keyboard is Davka Nikud.

Solution 2:

UniK - Unicode & navigation Keyboard extension allows you to do that. Swipe up and press the Aleph base character and if you want niqqud swipe right.
