Although this may seem unnatural, if the 8th bit is stripped, the text is partially readable in ASCII and may convert to syntactically correct KOI-7.
For example, "Код Обмена Информацией" in KOI8-R becomes kOD oBMENA iNFORMACIEJ (the Russian meaning of the "KOI" acronym).
KOI8 stands for Kod Obmena Informatsiey, 8 bit (Russian: Код Обмена Информацией, 8 бит) which means "Code for Information Exchange, 8 bit".
It lacks proper quotation marks for these languages: both «...» and the Bulgarian „...“.
Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point.
