Apostrophe indeed. The hebrew layout does not have a backtick (one
character had to be dropped, and the backtick was chosen).

Looks OK to me.

[ A bit off-topic for this list ]

Dov: did you have any special considerations in the placement of different
Nikud characters?

What about other characters such as bidi control characters, and less
frequently-used Nikud characters?

See: http://ivrix.org.il/mailing-lists/ivrix-discuss/2001/07/0022.html

(This was just a demonstration. Actually I believe that those other Nikud
characters don't belong in the layout)
