Input encodings

Several Cyrillic code-pages are widely used. Currently, LATEX contains support for 20 Cyrillic input encodings (some of which are variants of each other).

- `cp855` -- the standard MS-DOS Cyrillic code-page.

- `cp866` -- the standard MS-DOS Russian code-page. Several code-pages very similar to this are also supported (the differences are all in the range 242-254).
  - `cp866av` - the `Cyrillic Alternative' code-page (an alternative variant of cp866);
  - `cp866mav` - the `Modified Alternative Variant';
  - `cp866nav` - the `New Alternative Variant';
  - `cp866tat` - an experimental Tatarian code-page.

- `cp1251` -- the standard MS Windows Cyrillic code-page.

- `koi8-r` -- a standard Cyrillic code-page widely used in UNIX-like systems for Russian language support that is specified in RFC 1489. The situation with `koi8-r` is somewhat similar to that for `cp866`: there are several similar code-pages which coincide for all Russian letters but add some other Cyrillic letters. The following are supported:
  - `koi8-u` - for Ukrainian;
  - `koi8-ru` - this is described in a draft RFC document specifying a widely used character set for mail and news exchange in the Ukrainian internet community, as well as for presenting WWW information resources in the Ukrainian language;
  - `isoir111` - the ISO-IR-111 ECMA Cyrillic Code Page.

- `iso88595` -- the ISO 8859-5 Cyrillic code-page (also called ISO-IR-144).
- `maccyr` -- the Apple Macintosh Cyrillic code-page (also known as Microsoft cp10007) and `macukr`, the Apple Macintosh Ukrainian code-page, very similar to the Cyrillic code-page.

- The Mongolian code-pages: `ctt` `dbk` `mnk` `mos` `ncc` `mls`. These code-pages were taken from Oliver Corff's `MonTEX' package (available at `CTAN:language/mongolian/montex`). Since the `T2*` encodings support the Mongolian Cyrillic script, it is convenient to have support for Mongolian input encodings as well. Pointers to documentation for these code-pages will be much appreciated.
