    Description

    Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.

About the Hebrew Script

The Hebrew script is written right to left and can include diacritics to specify vowel marks, but these marks are often ommited in Modern Hebrew. In order to process Hebrew correctly, software must be able to display text from right to left and include vowe marks as needed.

Note: Modern Hebrew is sometimes called Ivrit, a form closer to the actual pronuciation of עברית 'Hebrew'

Note that the Hebrew script is used for other Jewish community languages, particularly
Yiddish (which includes additional characters). See Jewish Languages.org for
details on other languages written in the Hebrew alphabet.

Keyboards: Native vs. Transliterated Layout

Arial Hebrew Font

Hebrew keyboards utilities allow users to type Hebrew characters on their computers. These utilitites come with two main layout option types. One is the native layout which is similar to a Hebrew typewritier from Israel.

The other is a transliterated (or homophonic/QWERTY) layout in which Hebrew characters are mapped to the closest English keyboard counterpart. For instance typing Latin A would be Hebrew 'א', B would be Hebrew 'ב', Latin L would be Hebrew 'ל ' and Latin M would be Hebrew 'מ'. This layout is often preferred by English speakers because it is easier to remember the position of the letters.

Windows

Windows only has access to the native layout, but Kansas University does offer a homophonic layout for learners.

  • Society for Biblical Hebrew Keyboards (allows vowel marks)

Macintosh

A native Hebrew and QWERTY Hebrew keyboard are available in Macintosh. See the Macintosh Keyboard instructions and Hebrew Keyboard Layouts (Muhlenberg) for more information.

RTL Typing Tips

For a person new to an RTL script, typing can be a little disorienting and different from LTR scripts. The RTL page presents some helpful information including how to right align a document and work with punctuation.

Web Development

This section presents information specific to Hebrew. For general information about developing non-English Web sites, see the Encoding Tutorial or the Web Layout sections.

Encodings

Unicode (utf-8) is the preferred encoding for Hebrew, especially if the document includes vowel codes. However some other encodings may be encountered

Historical Enclodings

  • Logical with Vowel Marks:utf-8 (Unicode)
  • Logical, Consonants Only: iso-8859-8-i
  • Visual (Avoid):iso-8859-8 (Visual Hebrew), win-1255

Logical Hebrew/Unicode vs. Visual Hebrew

Logical Hebrew vs. Visual Hebrew is an older disctinction about how text was entered into a document.

In the older Visual Hebrew (Deprecated) system, text had to be entered backwards (as if they were left to right) in order to to be correctly displayed on the screen. In a Logical Hebrew system (including Unicode), letters are entered in the correct order and then correctly sequenenced from right to left.

For example, in the word (אדמ) Adam, in a logical encoding, a person would type the letters in the order 1 (מ) A/מ, 2 (ד) for D, 3 (א) for M, but the display would be RTL. In a visual encoding, a developer would need to enter 1 (א) for M, 2 (ד) for D, 3 (מ) A/מ because the text could only be layed out LTR.

Language Codes

Language Tags allow browsers and other software to process Hebrew script text more efficiently. Some major language tags are:

Selected Jewish Language Tags

  • he – Hebrew
  • hbo – Ancient/Biblical Hebrew
  • yi – Yiddish
  • ly – Ladino/Judeo-Spanish
  • bhh – Bukhori/Judeo Tajiki Persian
  • czk – Knaanic/Judeo-Czech
  • jdt – Juhari/Judeo-Tat-Persian
  • jrb – Judeo Arabic Languages
  • smp – Samaritan Hebrew
  • yej – Yevanic/Judeo-Greek

Specifying Text Direction

Some HTML editors set the direction automatically, but it can also be set manually
using the new <dir> and <bdo> attributes. See the Right-to-Left Alignment tips page for more details.

Using Unicode Escape Characters

If you wish to input a word or short phrase, you can use Unicode entity codes. See
the Hebrew Unicode Chart to view hexadecimal code points for Hebrew and other Jewish languages.
