Thanks for link, I understand. But text written in Russian on Windows,
doesn't constrain any characters which are not present in koi8-r, but
can contain other glyphs, which can be successfully converted to one
of present (I mean em-, en-dashes, left-, right brackets, and so on).
But, may be it is possible to make variants of koi8-r codepage, one
pseudo graphics, and one with additional characters, from win-1251.
I think I am understandable?
