This issue created as part of the WG LC process from a bug filed before the WG LC.
This bug reads in part:
IE takes the labels koi8-u and koi8-ru to mean KOI8-RU and not KOI8-U. The difference is that KOI8-RU has an additional letter needed for Byelorussian,
AE: U+045E (ў) and
BE: U+040E (Ў),
where KOI8-U has line-drawing characters,
AE: U+255D (╝) and
BE: U+256C (╬).
Letters are arguably more important than box-drawing characters, so KOI8-RU might be a better choice than KOI-8-U, at least if it can be shown that koi8-(r)u is used for Byelorussian (i.e., that AE/BE are used to encode ў/Ў). - Related Actions Items:
