ISO 8859-5, also known as Cyrillic is an 8-bit character encoding, part of the ISO 8859 standard. It was designed originally to cover languages using a Cyrillic alphabet such as Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian (except for the letter Ge, which was unused in the Soviet Union), but never got widespread use.
The 8-bit encodings KOI8-R and KOI8-U, and also Windows-1251 are more commonly used. In recent times all of these may eventually give way to Unicode.
In the table above, 20 is the regular SPACE character, and A0 is the NO-BREAK SPACE. AD is a SOFT HYPHEN, which should not appear at all in compliant web browsers.
Code values 00-1F, 7F, and 80-9F are not assigned to characters by ISO/IEC 8859-5.
