Digital text encoding Code page 856 (CCSID 856)CCSID 856 information document https://web.archive.org/web/20160327100212/http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid856.html 2016-03-27 http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid856.html (also known as CP 856 and IBM 00856), is a code page used under DOS for Hebrew in Israel.Code page 856 information document https://web.archive.org/web/20160304000622/http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp00856.html 2016-03-04 http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp00856.html Like ISO 8859-8, it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks; includes all characters of ISO 8859-8. As non-localized issues of DOS (except for Hebrew MS-DOS a.k.a. HDOS) had no inherent bidirectionality support, Hebrew text encoded using code page 856 was usually stored in visual order;December 2016 Text was copied from article about codepage 862. Beyond the question of accuracy it is unclear if the statement applies to codepage 856 at all. nevertheless, a few DOS applications, notably a word processor named EinsteinWriter, stored Hebrew in logical order. CCSID 9048 added the euro currency symbol and new sheqel sign, and added direction controls at code points A0 through A6hex.CCSID 9048 information document https://web.archive.org/web/20160327100212/http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid9048.html 2016-03-27 http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid9048.html Character set The following table shows code page 856. Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode 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 as code page 437. 8xAlt+128 U+05D0 HEBREW LETTER ALEF אAlt+129 U+05D1 HEBREW LETTER BET בAlt+130 U+05D2 HEBREW LETTER GIMEL גAlt+131 U+05D3 HEBREW LETTER DALET דAlt+132 U+05D4 HEBREW LETTER HE הAlt+133 U+05D5 HEBREW LETTER VAV וAlt+134 U+05D6 HEBREW LETTER ZAYIN זAlt+135 U+05D7 HEBREW LETTER HET חAlt+136 U+05D8 HEBREW LETTER TET טAlt+137 U+05D9 HEBREW LETTER YOD יAlt+138 U+05DA HEBREW LETTER FINAL KAF ךAlt+139 U+05DB HEBREW LETTER KAF כAlt+140 U+05DC HEBREW LETTER LAMED לAlt+141 U+05DD HEBREW LETTER FINAL MEM םAlt+142 U+05DE HEBREW LETTER MEM מAlt+143 U+05DF HEBREW LETTER FINAL NUN ן9xAlt+144 U+05E0 HEBREW LETTER NUN נAlt+145 U+05E1 HEBREW LETTER SAMEKH סAlt+146 U+05E2 HEBREW LETTER AYIN עAlt+147 U+05E3 HEBREW LETTER FINAL PE ףAlt+148 U+05E4 HEBREW LETTER PE פAlt+149 U+05E5 HEBREW LETTER FINAL TSADI ץAlt+150 U+05E6 HEBREW LETTER TSADI צAlt+151 U+05E7 HEBREW LETTER QOF קAlt+152 U+05E8 HEBREW LETTER RESH רAlt+153 U+05E9 HEBREW LETTER SHIN שAlt+154 U+05EA HEBREW LETTER TAV תAlt+155 background:#DDD;;Alt+156 U+00A3 POUND SIGN £Alt+157 background:#DDD;;Alt+158 U+00D7 MULTIPLICATION SIGN ×Alt+159 U+20AA NEW SHEQEL SIGN ₪AxAlt+160 U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK LRMAlt+161 U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK RLMAlt+162 U+202A LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING LREAlt+163 U+202B RIGHT-TO-LEFT EMBEDDING RLEAlt+164 U+202D LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE LROAlt+165 U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE RLOAlt+166 U+202C POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING PDFAlt+167 background:#DDD;;Alt+168 background:#DDD;;Alt+169 U+00AE REGISTERED SIGN ®Alt+170 U+00AC NOT SIGN ¬Alt+171 U+00BD VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF ½Alt+172 U+00BC VULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER ¼Alt+173 U+20AC EURO SIGN €Alt+174 U+00AB LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK «Alt+175 U+00BB RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK »BxAlt+176 U+2591 LIGHT SHADE ░Alt+177 U+2592 MEDIUM SHADE ▒Alt+178 U+2593 DARK SHADE ▓Alt+179 U+2502 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL │Alt+180 U+2524 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL AND LEFT ┤Alt+181 background:#DDD;;Alt+182 background:#DDD;;Alt+183 background:#DDD;;Alt+184 U+00A9 COPYRIGHT SIGN ©Alt+185 U+2563 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE VERTICAL AND LEFT ╣Alt+186 U+2551 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE VERTICAL ║Alt+187 U+2557 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE DOWN AND LEFT ╗Alt+188 U+255D BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND LEFT ╝Alt+189 U+00A2 CENT SIGN ¢Alt+190 U+00A5 YEN SIGN ¥Alt+191 U+2510 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND LEFT ┐CxAlt+192 U+2514 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT UP AND RIGHT └Alt+193 U+2534 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT UP AND HORIZONTAL ┴Alt+194 U+252C BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND HORIZONTAL ┬Alt+195 U+251C BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL AND RIGHT ├Alt+196 U+2500 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL ─Alt+197 U+253C BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ┼Alt+198 background:#DDD;;Alt+199 background:#DDD;;Alt+200 U+255A BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND RIGHT ╚Alt+201 U+2554 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE DOWN AND RIGHT ╔Alt+202 U+2569 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND HORIZONTAL ╩Alt+203 U+2566 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE DOWN AND HORIZONTAL ╦Alt+204 U+2560 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE VERTICAL AND RIGHT ╠Alt+205 U+2550 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE HORIZONTAL ═Alt+206 U+256C BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ╬Alt+207 U+00A4 CURRENCY SIGN ¤DxAlt+208 background:#DDD;;Alt+209 background:#DDD;;Alt+210 background:#DDD;;Alt+211 background:#DDD;;Alt+212 background:#DDD;;Alt+213 background:#DDD;;Alt+214 background:#DDD;;Alt+215 background:#DDD;;Alt+216 background:#DDD;;Alt+217 U+2518 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT UP AND LEFT ┘Alt+218 U+250C BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND RIGHT ┌Alt+219 U+2588 FULL BLOCK █Alt+220 U+2584 LOWER HALF BLOCK ▄Alt+221 U+00A6 BROKEN BAR ¦Alt+222 background:#DDD;;Alt+223 U+2580 UPPER HALF BLOCK ▀ExAlt+224 background:#DDD;;Alt+225 background:#DDD;;Alt+226 background:#DDD;;Alt+227 background:#DDD;;Alt+228 background:#DDD;;Alt+229 background:#DDD;;Alt+230 U+00B5 MICRO SIGN µAlt+231 background:#DDD;;Alt+232 background:#DDD;;Alt+233 background:#DDD;;Alt+234 background:#DDD;;Alt+235 background:#DDD;;Alt+236 background:#DDD;;Alt+237 background:#DDD;;Alt+238 U+00AF MACRON ¯Alt+239 U+00B4 ACUTE ACCENT ´FxAlt+240 U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN SHYAlt+241 U+00B1 PLUS-MINUS SIGN ±Alt+242 U+2017 DOUBLE LOW LINE ‗Alt+243 U+00BE VULGAR FRACTION THREE QUARTERS ¾Alt+244 U+00B6 PILCROW SIGN ¶Alt+245 U+00A7 SECTION SIGN §Alt+246 U+00F7 DIVISION SIGN ÷Alt+247 U+00B8 CEDILLA ¸Alt+248 U+00B0 DEGREE SIGN °Alt+249 U+00A8 DIAERESIS ¨Alt+250 U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT ·Alt+251 U+00B9 SUPERSCRIPT ONE ¹Alt+252 U+00B3 SUPERSCRIPT THREE ³Alt+253 U+00B2 SUPERSCRIPT TWO ²Alt+254 U+25A0 BLACK SQUARE ■Alt+255 U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE NBSP References cp856_Hebrew_PC to Unicode table 1999-07-27 Ken Whistler Unicode, Inc. https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/CP856.TXT 2016-12-11
