Code point wise, yes. The distinction is between direction. ISO-8859-8 is old, and assumes that there is no bidi support, and will be legible if displayed left-to-right. ISO-8859-8-i is "implicit order", i.e. Hebrew needs to be written right to left. ISO-8859-8-e is "explicit order", so code to denote direction must be used. https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/dirlang.html#bidi88598 https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1555.txt https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1556.txt
