Virtual keyboard for typing Modern Hebrew, Imperial Aramaic & Phoenician / Paleo-Hebrew Script.

The layouts are arranged to preserve the morphological continuity of letter forms between the alphabets, showing the palaeographical evolution of the characters.

Phoenician (c. 1050 - 150 BC) is the first phonemic abjad, derived from Proto-Canaanite and Egyptian hieratic graphemes. While there are differences in the written Phoenician and Paleo-Hebrew scripts and specialised typefaces exist to more closely reflect the inscriptions from each time period, they share the same unicode block so I am using Noto Sans Phoenician here.

Imperial Aramaic (c. 700 - 300 BC) standardized Phoenician letter forms into more regular handwriting shapes. Again this uses Google's Noto Sans Imperial Aramaic.

Hebrew (c. 4-1 BC -) uses the square script derived from Imperial Aramaic, with dedicated final form letters at the end of words. To better illustrate consistencies in letters between alphabets, on layout B final forms are accessed via the shift layer of their consonant keys.
