Hebrew character tables

This document lists the per-character shaping information needed to shape Hebrew text.

Contents

Separate character tables are provided for the Hebrew block, the Hebrew letters included in the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block, and for other miscellaneous characters that are used in <hebr> text runs:

• Hebrew character table

• Alphabetic Presentation Forms character table

• Miscellaneous character table

The tables list each codepoint along with its Unicode general category. For marks, the table lists the codepoint’s mark combining class. The codepoint’s Unicode name and an example glyph are also provided.

Codepoints with no assigned meaning are designated as unassigned in the Unicode category column.

Alphabetic Presentation Forms character table

This chart includes only the Hebrew codepoints from the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block in Unicode.

The Composition column lists the codepoints from the Hebrew block that compose into the listed Alphabetic Presentation Form. These presentation form compositions are not covered by the standard Unicode composition algorithm.

Entries with a null in this column do not need to be composed by the shaping engine.

Miscellaneous character table

Other important characters that may be encountered when shaping runs of Hebrew text include the dotted-circle placeholder (U+25CC), the zero-width joiner (U+200D), and zero-width non-joiner (U+200C).

The dotted-circle placeholder is frequently used when displaying a mark in isolation. Real-world text may also use other characters, such as hyphens or dashes, in a similar placeholder fashion; shaping engines should cope with this situation gracefully.
