Suggest New Tag:: Hebrew, RTF Coding, UTF Coding

This is a table of the Hebrew Alphabet which has both the RTF and UTF coding.

Example of RTF and UTF coding of Hebrew Characters:

• Where the Hebrew letter, Alef is used, the RTF code is \'e0
• The UTF code for the same letter is U+0500 and etc.

This is by no means a comprehensive and exhaustive document, but something that will help anyone starting out in using Hebrew text in their resources.

When using the rtf code for Hebrew, please make certain that you include in the code for the language

• \f0 = English (Default) This you need not enter in.
• \f1 = Greek Language
• \f2 = Hebrew Language

When entering in the rtf code for a Hebrew letter (and this also includes a word) your code should look like this: {\f2\fs24 \'e0}

With regards to font sizes, when entering it in as rtf code, the size you enter is in half points. Therefore, when you see \fs24, that equals to 12 points of the actual size of the font. Font at 40 half points equals 20 points and etc.

With regards to braces used, as seen in the above example, they keep the parameters of what has been placed in them. This means that the body of the text that is outside the braces are not affected.

Hi Stephen

Thank you, this is useful.

Just a small detail: the UTF codes can be used in RTF too, but they need to be converted to decimal (they are hexadecimal in your list). I mean, aleph can be represented as \'e0 or as \u1280 (which is the decimal value of 0500).

The RTF notation will only work if you specify the text is Hebrew. The UTF text will work anyway, but if you use the search function it will not find anything.

Regards,

Carlos
