Thanks for the data. These are I suppose American Jews. A fairer test might be among Israeli native speakers of Hebrew.

Excuse me?
I don't think I am going to be able to discuss user communities of the Universal Character Set with you if this kind of exclusivist rubbish is what you think can possibly apply.
I am not being exclusivist. I am simply pointing out that script recognition may vary from country to country. Some American native speakers of English might have trouble recognising English written in Celtic type script. You would find much less such difficulty among native speakers of English in Ireland.
