Beats me! I can see them in Netscape 4.06 with New Times Roman on a PC.
For example, the third character in the second word of the first line is
small omega with tonos, U+03CE, which in the file's UTF-8 encoding becomes
cf8e (hex). The UTF-8 encoding is announced in the file like so:
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
These letters also show up using the Arial and Code2000 fonts. The latter
(unlike Times & Arial) also shows the Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai.
Only the new versions of Times & Arial show the Hebrew.
