Code page 862とは 意味・読み方・使い方

Code page 862 is a code page for Hebrew under DOS. Like ISO 8859-8, it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks. It has the Hebrew letters in positions 80–9A hex, but otherwise it is identical to CP437. As DOS had no inherent bidirectionality support, CP862 Hebrew was usually stored in visual order; nevertheless, a few DOS applications, notably a word processor named EinsteinWriter, stored Hebrew in logical order. CP862 was replaced by Windows-1255 in Windows 3.x and 9x systems, and later by Unicode in Windows NT onwards. It is now obsolete.
