Code page 862 (CCSID 862)^[2] (also known as CP 862, IBM 00862, OEM 862 (Hebrew),^[3][4]MS-DOS Hebrew^[5]) is acode page used underDOS inIsrael forHebrew.^[6]

LikeISO 8859-8, it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks. As DOS had no inherentbidirectionality support,^{[citation needed]} Hebrew text encoded using code page 862 was usually stored in visual order; nevertheless, a few DOS applications, notably a word processor named EinsteinWriter, stored Hebrew in logical order.^{[citation needed]}

Code page 862 was replaced byWindows-1255 in Windows 3.x and 9x systems, and later byUnicode in Windows NT onwards. It is now obsolete.

The following table shows code page 862. It has the Hebrew letters in code positions 128–154 (80–9A_hex), but otherwise it is identical tocode page 437. Each character is shown with its equivalentUnicode code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same ascode page 437.
