Ukrainian charsets
So, there are several charset for Ukrainian, most important of them is listed below.
RUSCII, as defined in the RST 2018-91
It's a standard Ukrainian charset for DOS and OS/2. You may download my package for DOS Ukrainization (dos4ua.zip, 14 kb) or screen fonts for this charset (8x8, 8x14, 8x16 dots).
KOI8-U, as defined in the RFC 2319
It's a most popular standard for *NIX and default transport encoding for Internet mail and news. Look at my projects page for several packages for *NIX Ukrainization.
CP1251, as defined by MicroSoft, Inc.
It's a standard Cyrillic charset for MS Windows family, covered Byelorussian, Russian and Ukrainian characters. You may download my package with keyboard layouts for MS Windows 3.1* (win4ua.zip, 14 kb) and for MS Windows 95 (w954ua.zip, 3 kb). On my projects page you may find packages for Ukrainian support in some Win* programs.
MAC Ukrainian, as defined by Apple, Inc.
Unfortunately, I don't have an Apple computer, so can't say anymore about it.
You may also look at the other cyrillic charsets:
- CP866, standard DOS codetable in Russia. Include
Byelorusian 'short U' and Ukrainian 'IE', 'YI'; but no have Byelorussian-Ukrainan
'I' and Ukrainian 'GHE with upturn'. So, this charset is unsuitable for serious
work with Ukrainain.
- KOI8-R, standard *NIX codetable in Russia. See
more about this charset at the
Ache's homepage.
- KOI8-RU, MicroSoft's variation of the KOI
family, including Byelorussian 'short U'.
- ISO 8859-5 (aka GOST 19768-74), old Soviet
Union standard, now used in Sun workstations.
- KOI-7, one of the first Cyrillic charset, use only
7 bits, so have no Latin characters. It have variation with no lowercase
cyrillic, but uppercase latin in the 0x40-0x5f position. Some terminals allow
to switch this charsets.
- ASCII, American Standard Code for Information Interghange, 7 bits only. All of the above Cyrillic charsets (except of KOI-7) use it for lower-half of character table.
I'd use some info from Fingertip Software Cyrillic Character Sets page and Roman Czyborra The Cyrillic Charset Soup page.
