I am not sure what you mean by rendered correctly.

Let A=aleph
    ^=QAMATS

Then for example OpenOffice displays this correctly as

   A
   ^
while Emacs 25 (and 24.5) displays it as

   A
  ^ 

That is what you mean? (Not sure whether to write hebrew+niqqud on the
list) 

Remark: using xelatex the hebrew text with niqquds get compiled and the
pdf displays the niqqud correctly.
