HEBREW LETTER RESH is other letters, including syllables and ideographs from the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The bidi class of HEBREW LETTER RESH is Right-to-Left (Strong). It belongs to the strong right-to-left characters..

The Right-to-Left (R) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from right to left. This class includes most alphabetic characters from scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Thaana. The R characters determine the directionality of text segments and are crucial in the processing of bidirectional text.

Other Letter (Lo) refers to letters that do not fit into the uppercase, lowercase, titlecase, or modifier letter categories. These include letters from scripts that do not have case distinction, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and others. This category is also used for syllabic and ideographic characters that function as letters.

This character belongs to the Hebrew block. The Hebrew block includes characters used in the Hebrew script, one of the oldest writing systems still in use today. The Hebrew script is used primarily for writing Hebrew, but it is also used in liturgical texts for other Jewish languages such as Yiddish and Ladino. This block includes the 22 Hebrew letters, along with a few additional characters for final forms of certain letters and common punctuation marks. The script is written from right to left and is essential for religious texts, scholarly work, and modern Hebrew communication..
