Hebrew Letters — Copy and Paste the Full Alphabet

The complete Hebrew alphabet ready to copy with a single click — all 22 letters with their names, the five final (sofit) forms used at the ends of words, and the niqqud vowel points that mark pronunciation.

The 22 Letters

All 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in traditional order, read from right to left.

Final Forms (Sofit)

Five letters take a different shape when they end a word. These final forms are separate Unicode characters, not styled variants — pick the sofit form yourself for the last letter of a word.

Niqqud — Vowel Points

Combining marks that attach below, above, or inside a letter to indicate vowels and pronunciation. Paste a mark directly after a letter and it will attach to that letter.

Click any character to copy it, or use the section buttons to copy groups.

About the Hebrew Alphabet

Hebrew is written with a 22-letter abjad read from right to left, with no distinction between upper and lower case. The characters on this page come from the Unicode Hebrew block (U+0590–U+05FF), the same range used for Modern Hebrew, Biblical texts, Yiddish, and Ladino. On paper every letter is a consonant, though four of them — א, ה, ו, and י — often stand in for vowels as matres lectionis. The letters also carry numeric values in the traditional gematria system: alef through tet count 1–9, yod through tsadi count 10–90 in tens, and qof through tav count 100–400 in hundreds.

Five letters — kaf, mem, nun, pe, and tsadi — change shape at the end of a word, becoming ך, ם, ן, ף, and ץ. These sofit forms are independent Unicode codepoints, and no autocorrect will swap them in for you: if you are assembling a Hebrew word from copied letters, you must choose the final form yourself for the last position. The word שלום (shalom), for instance, ends in final mem — writing it with a regular מ looks immediately wrong to any Hebrew reader. Israeli keyboards give the five final forms their own keys for exactly this reason.

Niqqud is the system of dots and dashes developed by the Masoretes of Tiberias between roughly the 7th and 10th centuries to record vowels the consonantal script leaves out. Modern Israeli Hebrew omits it almost everywhere — newspapers and websites are unpointed — but it fills children's books, poetry, prayer books, and dictionaries. The marks are combining characters (U+05B0–U+05C2): sheva, the three hataf vowels, hiriq, tsere, segol, patach, qamats, holam, and qubuts, plus the dagesh dot and the shin and sin dots that distinguish שׁ (sh) from שׂ (s). Paste any mark straight after a letter and it attaches to that letter.

How to Use These Characters

  • Click any letter or vowel point to copy it, then paste with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac).
  • When a word ends in kaf, mem, nun, pe, or tsadi, copy the final (sofit) form from the second section for that last letter.
  • To vowel-point a letter, paste the niqqud mark immediately after it: ב followed by patach gives בַ.
  • Use the section copy buttons to grab the whole alphabet or all the niqqud marks at once for study notes.
  • For full words and sentences, the online Hebrew keyboard below beats copying letter by letter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Hebrew letters paste correctly on Instagram, TikTok, and Discord?

Yes. All the letters are standard Unicode from the Hebrew block, which renders correctly in bios, captions, comments, and usernames on Instagram, TikTok, Discord, X, and WhatsApp. Niqqud marks are the only weak spot — some interface fonts place the dots imprecisely — but the characters themselves copy, paste, and survive intact everywhere Unicode works.

Why does Hebrew have 27 characters if the alphabet has 22 letters?

Five letters — kaf, mem, nun, pe, and tsadi — take a special shape at the end of a word: ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ. They are the same letters, not additions to the alphabet, but Unicode encodes each final form as its own character. So a complete Hebrew character set needs 27 codepoints even though Hebrew speakers count 22 letters.

What happens to text direction when I paste Hebrew into English text?

Hebrew runs right to left, so editors apply the Unicode bidirectional algorithm: the Hebrew run flows right-to-left inside your left-to-right sentence. The cursor may appear to jump at the seams and punctuation can seem to switch sides — only the display order changes, the characters are intact. Pasting Hebrew on its own line keeps the layout simplest.

How do I write my name in Hebrew instead of copying letters?

Names are transliterated by sound, and Hebrew adds wrinkles like final forms and vowel letters, so copying characters one by one is error-prone. Our Name in Hebrew tool converts an English name automatically — David becomes דוד, for example. For anything longer, the free online Hebrew keyboard below gives you the full layout in your browser.

Why do the niqqud marks show a circle or look detached?

Niqqud marks are combining characters — they have no shape of their own and must sit on a letter. Displayed alone, many fonts draw them on a dotted placeholder circle, which is normal. To use one, paste it immediately after a Hebrew letter and the two merge into a single pointed glyph, like בָ (bet with qamats).
