The (hexadecimal) Unicode constants for characters in a selected text from the Unicode/XML Tanach can now be easily obtained. Unicode constants are of the form &#xnnnn;* *and can be copied directly into conventional editors. When the Unicode constants are inserted into HTML pages, they display the actual Unicode characters.

The Unicode constants for a particular text can be determined only in the Verses layout. Any desired Content (Accents, Vowels, Consonants, Morphology) may be used, however. Select the Hebrew text in the usual manner of selecting text on the browser and release the mouse button. Because of browser differences, some experimentation in selecting the text and initiating the conversion may be necessary. This should pop up a window titled "Selected Hebrew text as Unicode constants" showing both the selected Hebrew text and the corresponding Unicode constants. If it doesn't, try a slow, single click on the selected text.

Please report difficulties.
