ISO 8859-8, more formally cited as ISO/IEC 8859-8 (but not as Latin-8!), is part 8 of ISO/IEC 8859, a standard character encoding defined by ISO.
ISO 8859-8 contains all the Hebrew letters (consonants only, no Hebrew vowel signs).
ISO-8859-8, the character encoding for use with electronic documents such as HTML, exists in two different forms: if just ISO-8859-8 is given the assumed order is visual, meaning that Hebrew, an RTL script, would be written LTR, i.e. backwards. If however ISO-8859-8-i is given, the logical order is used, and Hebrew must be written correctly. As of 2004 the visual order is dying out in the Hebrew language computing scene, being fast replaced by logical order (as ISO-8859-8-I or Windows-1255 or UTF-8) everywhere.
The following table lists the characters in ISO 8859-8.

In the table above, 20 is the regular SPACE character, and A0 is the NO-BREAK SPACE. AD is a SOFT HYPHEN, which should not appear at all in compliant web browsers.
FD is left-to-right mark (U+200E) and FE is right-to-left mark (U+200F), as specified in a newer amendment as ISO/IEC 8859-8:1999.
