Code page 862

Code page 862 is a code page for Hebrew under DOS. Like ISO 8859-8, it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks. It has the Hebrew letters in positions 80–9A hex, but otherwise it is identical to CP 437. As DOS had no inherent bidirectionality support, CP 862 Hebrew was usually stored in visual order; nevertheless, a few DOS applications, notably a word processor named EinsteinWriter, stored Hebrew in logical order. CP 862 was replaced by Windows-1255 in Windows 3.x and 9x systems, and later by Unicode in Windows NT onwards. It is now obsolete.

Code page layout

The following table shows CP 862. Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point and its decimal 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 CP 437.
