The Unicode and HTML for the Hebrew alphabet are found in the following tables. The Unicode Hebrew block extends from U+0590 to U+05FF and from U+FB1D to U+FB4F. It includes Letter (alphabet), letters, Ligature (typography), ligatures, combining diacritical marks (''niqqud'' and Hebrew cantillation, cantillation marks) and punctuation. The Numeric character reference, Numeric Character References are included for HTML. These can be used in many markup languages, and they are often used on web pages to create the Hebrew glyphs presentable by the majority of web browsers.
