![]() In addition, the presence of a dagesh (a dot placed within a letter to add emphasis) can modify the sound of a letter, essentially making one letter into two although, how one pronounces these sounds varies. Each letter has its own sound and numerical value. It consists of 22 letters, all consonants, none of which are lowercase. same as for dagesh) again ".The Hebrew alphabet, the holy language of the Bible, is used for biblical Hebrew, Modern Hebrew, Jewish Aramaic, Yiddish, and Ladino. There are alternatives based on dead key "." (i.e. ◌֫ ole 05ab (can be used also as stress marker) 4-char string in italic is Unicode code of character/symbol. I've tried to by compatible with SIL keyboard if possible.ĭifferences are marked with (*). The key combination followed by itself results in colon (:), followed by anything else results in semicolon ( ). The semicolon itself is mapped to AltGr+ (Ctrl+Alt+ ) as dead key. * Compare וֹ (waw with holam) and וֺ (waw with holam haser).īecause of hataf (composite sheva) vowels are often used, there are alternative ways based on dead key "." (i.e. To type nikkud, the vowels - typed after previous consonant - are mapped following way: Key Shift+AltGr (Ctrl+Alt)+w to type שׁ as composite.AltGr (Ctrl+Alt)+w to type שׂ as composite.Or (more simply by just one key covering both ש and proper dot) ש (Shift+s) followed by Shift + AltGr (Ctrl+Alt)+s results in שׁ as composite.ש (Shift+s) followed by AltGr (Ctrl+Alt)+s results in שׂ as composite.Shift+AltGr (Ctrl+Alt)+s to type ׁ◌ - shin dot.AltGr (Ctrl+Alt)+s to type ׂ◌ - sin dot.If font doesn't contain glyph for sin/shin with dot (very rare) or if you just want to type the sin/shin without dot, you can use b followed by two "." results in בּ (looks same as above, but still constructed from two characters) such way the dagesh is typed after the letter."." followed by "." result in separate dagesh (mappiq) - useful in case the font doesn't include letter with dagesh and there is necessary to composite final character.if neither dagesh nor mappiq is allowed with letter (ayin, chet, final forms instead of pe and kaf) the result is same letter as without dead key such behaviour is not implemented for wide forms.Letters with dagesh / mappiqīecause of many new Hebrew fonts contain special characters for letters with dagesh or mappiq I've decided to implement dagesh as dead key mapped to "."

The purpose of this project is to develop Windows keyboard which maps Hebrew letters according their phonetic or visual similarity with English (ASCII) letters.
