KOI8-U (KOI8 Ukrainian, described in RFC\ 2310)
is the de-facto standard character set for encoding Ukrainian texts.
KOI8-U is compatible with KOI8-R (RFC 1489)
for all Russian letters, and extends KOI8-R with four
Ukrainian letters (in both uppercase and lowercase)
in locations that are compliant with ISO-IR-111.
RFC\ 2310 defines an 8-bit character set, KOI8-U.
KOI8-U encodes the
characters used in Ukrainian and Byelorussian.
