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.

This range corresponds to the Hebrew range of its 7-bit counterpart, but with the high bit set.

It has the Hebrew letters in code positions 128–154 (80–9A hex), but otherwise it is identical to code page 437. Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as code page 437 .
