The DEC Hebrew character set is an 8-bit character set developed by
Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) to support the
Hebrew alphabet.
It was derived from DEC's
Multinational Character Set (MCS) by removing the existing definitions from code points 192 to 223 and 224 to 250 and replacing code points 251 to 256 by the Hebrew letters.
This range corresponds to the Hebrew range of
its 7-bit counterpart, but with the high bit set.
Since MCS is a predecessor of
ISO/IEC 8859-1
ISO/IEC 8859-1:1998, ''Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 1: Latin alphabet No. 1'', is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published in ...
, DEC Hebrew is similar to
ISO/IEC 8859-8 and the
Windows code page 1255
Windows-1255 is a code page used under Microsoft Windows to write Hebrew. It is an almost compatible superset of ISO-8859-8 most of the symbols are in the same positions (except for A4, which is 'sheqel sign' in Windows-1255 but 'generic currency ...
, that is, many characters in the range 160 to 191 are the same, and the Hebrew letters are at 192 to 250 in all three character sets.
