The only limits are in capabilities of the browser your audience

the fonts available to said browser.
- In your HTML source, use only characters from the WGL4,
  cf. <http://www.microsoft.com/OpenType/OTSpec/WGL4.htm>;
  in your style sheet, ask for modern, WGL4-conforming fonts,
  cf. <http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html#wgl4>.


This is not very helpful advice if you are wanting to put up a page in Hebrew (as Elaine explicitly is) or any other language which is not supported by this rather restricted subset, which basically supports only European languages (and not all of them), and other languages only accidentally. In fact, what you seem to be saying is, only use European languages, and expect the rest of the world to learn them. Not quite the attitude which Unicode is intended to promote.
