Registration of a Cyrillic Character Set
RFC 1489, “Registration of a Cyrillic Character Set”, is an Informational document published in July 1993 by A. Chernov. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Though the proposed character set "koi8-r" is not currently an international standard, there is very large user community (including Relcom Net) supporting it. Factually, "koi8-r" is de-facto standard for Unix and global network applications in the former Soviet Union. This is the reason the Society of Unix User Groups (SUUG) believes "koi8-r" should be registered. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
