The ISO 8859-5, also known as Latin/Cyrillic, is a character encoding standard developed in the 1980s. It was designed for various languages using a Cyrillic alphabet, including Bulgarian, Belarusian, Russian, and Serbian, among others. It employs an 8-bit encoding scheme, which can represent up to 256 characters. The first 128 characters are identical to those in the ASCII standard.
