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.
All characters are 8 bits. The "standard" 27 consonants (including "final" consonants) go from hex 80 to 9A. Then there are vowels that seem to start around hex 9B or so (I'm guessing right after the standard consonants end). Then there are "dotted" consonants that seem to start at hex E0. 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? Thanks so much! -- Tzadik _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list Perl@perl.org.il http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
