Hebrew Letter Value in Line Break Unicode Property
Hebrew Letter is a specific character classification used in text layout to indicate that a character behaves like a Hebrew consonant or vowel when determining where a line can break. This value applies to characters such as alef, bet, and gimel, as well as Hebrew punctuation and diacritical marks. When a line break opportunity occurs, these characters are treated as ordinary letters, meaning they do not create a break before or after themselves unless adjacent to a space or explicit hyphenation point. The classification prevents awkward splitting of Hebrew words, ensuring that the script’s right‑to‑left flow remains intact. It also distinguishes these characters from punctuation or symbols that might allow breaks. In practice, this value helps software wrap text naturally, keeping Hebrew words whole on a single line whenever possible.
