Hebrew points (in Hebrew, Niqud) indicate vowels and other details affecting pronunciation. Their use is optional. The table also includes traditional Hebrew punctuation.
The points are only included in the newer character codes: ISO 10646, Unicode, and SI 1311-1.
The Unicode standard and ISO 10646 include additional Hebrew characters that are not included in Israeli standards and are not needed for Hebrew support.
