At first, I too thought Peter was talking about transliteration into Hebrew script, but today I realised that he was talking about encoding Phoenician glyphs as Hebrew characters.

Are you sure about that?

Yes. This is what Peter wrote earlier today:

        Transliteration of Greek or Cyrillic into Latin
        script is one thing. A quite different thing is
        encoding Greek or Cyrillic with Unicode characters
        defined as for Latin script but displaying these
        as Greek or Cyrillic with a masquerading font
        (your word, I think, John). The latter corresponds
        to what scholars of Phoenician etc currently do
        when they want to display or print out in Phoenician
        script (or whatever you may call it).
