KOI8-R

KOI8-R (RFC 1489) is an 8-bit character encoding derived from the KOI-8 encoding, created by the programmer Andrei Chernov in 1993. It was designed to encode Russian letters, using the Russian subset of a Cyrillic script. KOI-8 is an extension of the KOI-7 encoding, which inherited a phonetic correspondence of Russian, as well as Latin letters, from the MTK-2 teletype code. As a result, Russian Cyrillic letters in KOI8-R are in a pseudo-Latin alphabetical order, rather than a Cyrillic one, as in ISO 8859-5. This means that if the 8th bit is stripped, the text remains partially readable in any ASCII-based encoding (including KOI8-R itself) as a case-reversed transliteration. For example, "Код для обмена и обработки информации" (the Russian meaning of the "KOI" acronym) becomes: "kOD DLQ OBMENA I OBRABOTKI INFORMACII". KOI-8 stands for: 8-bitnyy kod dlya obmena i obrabotki informatsii (Russian: 8-битный код для обмена и обработки информации), meaning "8-Bit Code for Information Interchange". In Microsoft Windows, KOI8-R is assigned the code page number 20866. In IBM, KOI8-R is assigned code page 878. KOI8-R also covers the Bulgarian alphabet.
