Unicode block Hebrew

The Unicode block Hebrew (Hebrew, 0590 to 05FF) contains the Hebrew alphabet with vowel characters and additional characters for Yiddish in Unicode . The sorting is based on Windows-1255 . The unicode block Hebrew largely follows ISO 8859-8 in the order . Five Hebrew letter forms that only appear at the end of a word are specially coded. Vowel signs and accents or cantillation signs are available as combining signs . The correct positioning should be done according to the existing typographical rules and can be influenced by a combining grapheme joiner . Some characters, which are composed of a Hebrew letter and vowel characters, are specially coded in the Unicode block Alphabetic presentation forms , especially the letters for Yiddish. This block also contains some ligatures and representations of Hebrew letters. However, these characters are only intended for compatibility with other codings and should not be used otherwise.

As mathematical characters in Unicode , the first four letters of the Hebrew alphabet are also available in the Unicode block of letter-like symbols . When the Unicode Bidi algorithm is used, these are not arranged from right to left like Hebrew letters, but are considered clockwise characters.

Remarks

1. ↑ Instead of Zarka , tsinnorite (see U + 05AE) is meant (see Unicode Technical Note # 27 ). Since identifiers that have been assigned once are no longer changed by the Unicode consortium for reasons of stability, it was retained.
2. ↑ Instead of Zinor , Zarqa = (Tsinor) (cf. U + 0598) is meant (see Unicode Technical Note # 27 ). Since identifiers that have been assigned once are no longer changed by the Unicode consortium for reasons of stability, it was retained.
3. ↑ character was only added in version 11.0.
