12.6 Cyrillic and other charsets

The following Cyrillic charsets are already available in Recode through RFC 1345 tables: CP1251 with aliases 1251, ms-cyrl and windows-1251; CSN_369103 with aliases ISO-IR-139 and KOI8_L2; ECMA-cyrillic with aliases ECMA-113, ECMA-113:1986 and iso-ir-111, IBM880 with aliases 880, CP880 and EBCDIC-Cyrillic; INIS-cyrillic with alias iso-ir-51; ISO-8859-5 with aliases cyrillic, ISO-8859-5:1988 and iso-ir-144; KOI-7; KOI-8 with alias GOST_19768-74; KOI8-R; KOI8-RU and finally KOI8-U.

There seems to remain some confusion in Roman charsets for Cyrillic languages, and because a few users requested it repeatedly, Recode now offers special services in that area. Consider these charsets as experimental and debatable, as the extraneous tables describing them are still a bit fuzzy or non-standard. Hopefully, in the long run, these charsets will be covered in Keld Simonsen's works to the satisfaction of everybody, and this section will merely disappear.
