Question

Non-Latin alphabets in text objects

I have version 7, which does not accept non-Roman text in text boxes (Yiddish characters in particular show up as blank).

Is there a later version that does support this?

Thanks.

    Windows 10, but I don’t understand the rest of your reply.

    Thanks but not really. I know there are Unicode chars for the entire Hebrew/Yiddish alphabet, but that doesn’t let me type Y in a Photoshop text box, unless a later (subscription?) version supports such.

    This cut & paste comes from Copilot:

    Method 1 — Copy/paste from Character Map
    Windows’ Character Map includes all Hebrew/Yiddish characters.
    This method is confirmed to work in Photoshop via Character Map copy/paste.
    1.     Open Character Map (type it in Start).
    2.     Choose a font that supports Hebrew (e.g., Tahoma).
    3.     Select the characters you want (including װ ױ ײ).
    4.     Click Copy.
    5.     Paste into your Photoshop Elements 7 text box.
