I don't known what exactly used the author in question but
there existed several "encodings" of Hebrew which used "ascii"
codepoints for Hebrew characters bound to a particular font.
See e.g. the "bwhebb" fonts, the "responsa" fonts and other..
Additionaly, some of them had to be encoded "LTR", i.e. causing
problems if more that a single word was quoted and a line-break
occured in between the Hebrew words...
