Frist of all it is ISO-8859-8-i ("-i" and not just "i"). I'm not sure how
much programs are pedantic about this, but still...
A bit of history (I hope this is all correct):
<history>
The names were suggested in the (quite deprecated by now) RFC1556. This
RFC tried to face the logical Hebrew problem (which at the time of
itswriting, beginning of the nighnities, wasn't available in clients) by
suggesting that logical Hebrew which is written with the character set
ISO-8859-8 will have the "content type" ISO-8859-8-i, so people would be
able to tell the difference from visual Hebrew ("plain" ISO-8859-8)
</history>
SoISO-8859-8-i is not a different character set from the "original"
ISO-8859-8. See, for instnace, http://www.qsm.co.il/Hebrew/ab.htm
