The Hebrew block includes characters used in the Hebrew script, one of the oldest writing systems still in use today. The Hebrew script is used primarily for writing Hebrew, but it is also used in liturgical texts for other Jewish languages such as Yiddish and Ladino. This block includes the 22 Hebrew letters, along with a few additional characters for final forms of certain letters and common punctuation marks. The script is written from right to left and is essential for religious texts, scholarly work, and modern Hebrew communication..
