ISO/IEC 8859-5
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 8859-5, also known as Cyrillic is an 8-bit character encoding, part of the ISO 8859 standard. It was designed originally to cover languages using a Cyrillic alphabet such as Bulgarian, Belarusian, Russian and Macedonian, but was never widely used. It would also have been usable for Ukrainian in the Soviet Union from 1933–1990, but it is missing the Ukrainian letter ge, ґ, which is required in Ukrainian orthography before and since, and during that period outside of Soviet Ukraine.
ISO_8859-5:1988, more commonly known by its preferred MIME name of ISO-8859-5 (note extra hyphen) is the IANA charset consisting of this standard combined with the control codes from ISO/IEC 6429 for the C0 (0x00–0x1F) and C1 (0x80–0x9F) parts. Escape sequences (from ISO/IEC 6429 or ISO/IEC 2022) are not to be interpreted. This charset also has the aliases iso-ir-144, ISO_8859-5, cyrillic and csISOLatinCyrillic.
The 8-bit encodings KOI8-R and KOI8-U, CP866, and also Windows-1251 are far more commonly used. Another possible way to represent Cyrillic is Unicode.

In the table above, 20 is the regular SPACE character, and A0 is the NO-BREAK SPACE. AD is a SOFT HYPHEN, which should not appear at all in compliant web browsers.
Code values 0x00–0x1F, 0x7F, and 0x80–0x9F are not assigned to characters by ISO/IEC 8859-5.
