KOI-8 (Russian: Код Обмена Информацией, 8 бит, romanized: Kod Obmena Informatsiey, 8 bit, КОИ-8) is an 8-bit character set standardized in GOST 19768-74. It is an extension of KOI-7 which allows the use of the Latin alphabet along with the Russian alphabet, both the upper and lower case letters; however, the letter Ёё and the uppercase Ъ are missed, the latter to avoid conflicts with the delete character (both are added in most extensions, see KOI8-B).
