TheIsraeli Standards Institute's StandardSI 960 defines a 7–bitHebrewcode page. It is derived from, but does not conform to,ISO/IEC 646; more specifically, it followsASCII except for the lowercase letters and backtick (`), which are replaced by the naturally orderedHebrew alphabet. It is also known asDEC Hebrew (7–bit), becauseDEC standardized this character set before it became an international standard.[1]Kermit named ithebrew–7 andHEBREW–7.[2][3]
TheHebrew alphabet is mapped to positions 0x60–0x7A, on top of the lowercase Latin letters (and grave accent for aleph). 7–bit Hebrew is stored in visual order.
This mapping with the high bit set, i.e. with the Hebrew letters in 0xE0–0xFA, is also reflected inISO 8859-8.
