Text and/or other creative content from this version of List of Unicode characters was copied or moved into Unicode and HTML for the Hebrew alphabet with this edit on 20:59, 4 February 2015. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Created this page as a split from, Hebrew alphabet, and then did some more work on it. Epson291 22:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To be added[edit]

¶ I would like to add that there are several more Hebrew unicode characters, including the Biblical accents, special letters (such as extra-wide), and other characters. See, for example:
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/hebrew.html
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/alphabetic_presentation_forms.html
And I would greatly appreciate it if someone who knows how to do it would enlarge these charts to add those characters! Sussmanbern (talk) 15:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like today the two Unicode tables are present, and complete. Am I correct? -DePiep (talk) 18:13, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

¶ I wouldn't mind at all (hint, hint) if someone added a table for the vowel points and accents. Sussmanbern (talk) 02:17, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give us a list, link or overview for these vowel points andaccents? Are they usedin coommon? (that is, also in other scripts than Hebrew?) -DePiep (talk) 18:13, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

HTML entities[edit]

@Esperfulmo: Re: this revert Which characters are you seeing where "wiki changes them to other characters"? I did not see any on a brief visual scan. I'm trying to figure out which have to be marked with {{not a typo}} and which can be converted to the bare character to simplify the markup. -- Beland (talk) 20:10, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Beland and thanks for bringing this here. Well, it happens often that a few characters are rendered incorrectly or nearly the same by default fonts (e.g. in Arabic as well). In this article's example is precomposed letters which contain their diacritics, when saved in a wiki, they are converted to letters plus diacritics, hence they lost (not all of them apparently). The only way to ensure they are not lost is by typing their code. Also, the diacritics on their own are usually lost, because they are not designed to be displayed standalone, so when we open the editor, they are often stuck or hidden behind brackets or so. That's why I try to write them as codes as well. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esperfulmo (talk • contribs) 20:24, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see that when I copy "בּ" into the wikitext editor here from the article (where it's still a single HTML entity) if I copy it out again it's a string of two characters, but copying it directly from the article keeps it as one character. How unexpected! Thanks for explaining and putting in the {{not a typo}} markup. I'll watch out for that in future HTML entity scans. -- Beland (talk) 03:12, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
