Description Digicode is a system of writing used in the Digimon franchise as a way to represent both Japanese characters and English letters; a simple substitution cipher for each language. 

I got the idea to design one for Hebrew soon after I started writing my story Digimon Reboot, my original Digimon story. Digimon Reboot is set in its own Digital World of my creation, not based on any of the official anime, manga, or game story-lines. It has a Jewish character from Israel, so I thought... why not?

I worked on this for quite some time. I set certain limitations for myself in hopes of making it look more digital: only vertical and horizontal lines; and I used a square as the archetypal Hebrew DigiCode letter shape. I had fun doing this! But man, I get why Japanese DigiCode only has one set of characters, instead of having a different set for katakana and hiragana. It's a lot of work!

Anyway, I see this as practice for my similar fiverr gig , definitely!  

Hebrew DigiCode will show up in my story, so I hope you check it out!  

Let me know what you think!
