The Microsoft Windows code page for Hebrew, Windows-1255, uses logical order, and adds support for vowel points as combining characters, and some additional punctuation. It is mostly an extension of ISO-8859-8- I without C1 controls, except for the omission of the double underscore, and replacement of the universal currency sign ( ¤ ) with the ...
This range corresponds to the Hebrew range of its 7-bit counterpart, but with the high bit set. Since MCS is a predecessor of ISO/IEC 8859-1 , DEC Hebrew is similar to ISO/IEC 8859-8 and the Windows code page 1255 , that is, many characters in the range 160 to 191 are the same, and the Hebrew letters are at 192 to 250 in all three character sets.
The symbol "₪", which represents the sheqel sign, can be typed into Windows, Linux and ChromeOS with the Hebrew keyboard layout set, using AltGr+4. On Mac OS X, it can be typed as ⇧ Shift+7. If a US or EU layout is in use, the sequence is Alt+ 20AA for some Windows applications and Ctrl+⇧ Shift+u 20AAspace on Unix heritage systems.
ISO/IEC 8859-8:1999 from 1999 represents its second and current revision, preceded by the first edition ISO/IEC 8859-8:1988 in 1988. It is informally referred to as Latin/Hebrew. ISO/IEC 8859-8 covers all the Hebrew letters, but no Hebrew vowel signs. IBM assigned code page 916 (CCSIDs 916 and 5012) to it.
Windows-1255 Hebrew is always in logical order (as opposed to visual). Microsoft Hebrew products (Windows, Office and Internet Explorer) brought logically-ordered Hebrew to common use, with the result that Windows-1255 is the Hebrew encoding that can be found most on the Web, having ousted the visually ordered ISO-8859-8, and preferred to the logically ordered ISO-8859-8-I because it provides ...
Code page 862 (CCSID 862) [2] (also known as CP 862, IBM 00862, OEM 862 (Hebrew), [3] [4] MS-DOS Hebrew [5]) is a code page used under DOS in Israel for Hebrew. [6] Like ISO 8859-8, it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks. As DOS had no inherent bidirectionality support, [citation needed] Hebrew text encoded using code ...
ISO-8859-7 is the IANA preferred charset name for this standard (formally the 1987 version, but in practice there is no problem using it for the current version, as the changes are pure additions to previously unassigned codes) when supplemented with the C0 and C1 control codes from ISO/IEC 6429.
ISO 259-3 is Uzzi Ornan's romanization, which reached the stage of an ISO Final Draft [3] but not of a published International Standard (IS). [4] It is designed to deliver the common structure of the Hebrew word throughout the different dialects or pronunciation styles of Hebrew, in a way that it can be reconstructed into the original Hebrew characters by both man and machine.
