The Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex (UXLC) at <https://tanach.us> is a transcription of the Leningrad Codex (LC). Although decades have been spent by multiple organizations, the transcription is still imperfect. The UXLC allows improvements to be made and attributed to their authors. If you're aware of a discrepancy between the UXLC and the LC please submit a text change; it's easy <https://tanach.us/Pages/SuggestChange.html>. Usually, you will receive a reply in 24 hours and the change published within 6 months.
A possible way to find changes is to examine a verse that you find particularly important or interesting. View the verse at the site and compare the corresponding LC folio via the Links: Sefaria Color image of Leningrad Codex feature (<https://tanach.us/Pages/LC%20images.html>). Hint: Place the UXLC text and the Sefaria image in separate windows on your screen.
I'd suggest that students of the Tanach should have at at least one experience of examining the original source of their studies; the site provides a convenient way to do this.
