Hebrew character notes

This page lists characters in the following Unicode block and provides information about them.

Notes on Biblical Hebrew only occur where there is something to say that is not already in the Modern Israeli Hebrew description.

See also the companion document, Hebrew orthography notes, for a summary of the Hebrew script and its use for the modern Israeli Hebrew language.

Phonetic transcriptions should be treated as an approximate guide, only. Many are more phonemic than phonetic, and there may be variations depending on the source of the transcription.
