KOI7

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KOI7 is a 7-bit character encoding, designed to cover Russian, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet. It can cover either the ASCII table or Cyrillic characters, but not both (due to its 7-bit nature).

In Russian, KOI7 stands for Kod Obmena Informatsiey, 7 bit (Код Обмена Информацией, 7 бит) which means "Code for Information Exchange, 7 bit".

The dollar sign character ("$" hex 24), however, was often replaced with the universal currency sign "¤" in Soviet computers. A popular legend has it that this was to demonstrate independence of the American-dominanted computer industry — which was ironical, since a significant number of Soviet computers were actually implementations of various American designs.
