Hebrew

The Hebrew abjad, shown in Table 27-15, is used for Hebrew, Yiddish, and Judezmo. It’s commonly used for Phoenician as well, but the Phoenician and Hebrew abjads are arguably different, and a separate Phoenician block is a likely addition in the future. The Hebrew script is also occasionally used for mathematical notation.
