Unicode and HTML for the Hebrew alphabet

Unicode and HTML values for the Hebrew script

The Unicode and HTML for the Hebrew alphabet are found in the following tables. The Unicode Hebrew block extends from U+0590 to U+05FF and from U+FB1D to U+FB4F. It includes letters, ligatures, combining diacritical marks (niqqud and cantillation marks) and punctuation. The Numeric Character References are included for HTML. These can be used in many markup languages, and they are often used on web pages to create the Hebrew glyphs presentable by the majority of web browsers.

Main article: Hebrew (Unicode block), Alphabetic Presentation Forms

Note I: The ligatures are intended for Yiddish. They are not used in Hebrew.

Note II: The symbol is called gershayim and is a punctuation mark used in the Hebrew language to denote acronyms. It is written before the last letter in the acronym. Gershayim is also the name of a note of cantillation in the reading of the Torah, printed above the accented letter.

Remaining graphs are in the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block: Note: In Yiddish orthography only, the glyph, he ( ), pronounced , can be optionally used, rather than typing he then he (). In Hebrew spelling this would be pronounced . is written he under the previous letter then he ().

HTML code tables

Note: HTML numeric character references can be in decimal format (&#DDDD;) or hexadecimal format (&#xHHHH;). For example, ג and ג (where "05D2" in hexadecimal is the same as "1490" in decimal) both represent the Hebrew letter gimmel.
