I have a binary data file, in a format used by a relatively ancient program, which I am trying to convert into something sane. With the help of a Hex editor I have basically worked out the file format except that it contains Hebrew characters with an odd encoding.<br>
<br>All characters are 8 bits. The "standard" 27 consonants (including "final" consonants) go from hex 80 to 9A. Then there are <b>vowels</b> that seem to start around hex <b>9B</b> or so (I'm guessing right after the standard consonants end). Then there are <b>"dotted" consonants</b> that seem to start at hex <b>E0</b>.<br>
<br>If I remember correctly, I think this is some sort of DOS encoding (perhaps connected to the old "Hebrew chip"). Does anyone have a table of this character mapping or a tool that will translate this mapping into a more normal Hebrew encoding like Unicode?<br>
<br>Thanks so much!<br><br>Tzadik<br><br>
