Unlike English and Greek Hebrew is written right-to-left so you may find it
necessary to enter Greek / English on both sides then insert the Hebrew between
two words. Sometimes it is difficult to change directions from right-to-left
back to left-to-right. This depends on the program you are using.

Hi Ken,
In your HTML, make sure the <HEAD> section contains the following META tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
That's all you need. Then just use Unicide characters in your page. If you
need a way to type-and-copy inflected Greek, use this excellent site:
http://www.typegreek.com
Can't help you with entering Hebrew, sorry.
Nigel.
