'''Code page 862''' ([CCSID](/source/CCSID) 862)[{{cite web|title=CCSID 862 information document|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328022012/http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid862.html|archive-date=2016-03-28|url=http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid862.html}}] (also known as CP 862, IBM 00862, OEM 862 (Hebrew),[
MS-DOS Hebrew][) is a [code page](/source/code_page) used under [DOS](/source/DOS) in [Israel](/source/Israel) for [Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language).][{{cite web|title=Code page 862 information document|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304000114/http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp00862.html|archive-date=2016-03-04|url=https://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp00862.html}}]
Like [ISO 8859-8](/source/ISO_8859-8), it encodes only letters, not vowel-points or cantillation marks. As DOS had no inherent [bidirectionality](/source/bi-directional_text) support,{{cn|date=July 2014|reason=Normal Western issues of DOS didn't, but IIRC HDOS did.}} Hebrew text encoded using code page 862 was usually stored in visual order; nevertheless, a few DOS applications, notably a word processor named EinsteinWriter, stored Hebrew in logical order.{{cn|date=April 2025}}
Code page 862 was replaced by [Windows-1255](/source/Windows-1255) in Windows 3.x and 9x systems, and later by [Unicode](/source/Unicode) in Windows NT onwards. It is now obsolete.
==Character set==
The following table shows code page 862. It has the Hebrew letters in code positions 128–154 (80–9Ahex), but otherwise it is identical to [code page 437](/source/code_page_437). Each character is shown with its equivalent [Unicode](/source/Unicode) code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as [code page 437](/source/code_page_437).
