There's also كوم which is 'com' in Arabic.
I'm not sure how the gTLD are supposed to work technically, but it seems to me that VeriSign made a mistake when registering the Hebrew '.com': Their version uses the Holam diacritic (the dot over the middle letter), which is not used in every-day Hebrew (it's mostly used to teach reading and to differentiate between different words with the same spelling, when such a thing might cause confusion). In any case, most computer users in Israel don't even know how to add diacritic marks, so I don't see anyone typing such an address in their browser.
