KOI-7 (КОИ-7) is a 7-bitcharacter encoding, designed to coverRussian, which uses theCyrillic alphabet.
In Russian, KOI-7 stands forKod Obmena Informatsiey, 7 bit (Код Обмена Информацией, 7 бит) which means "Code for Information Exchange, 7 bit".[1]
It was first standardized in GOST 13052-67 (with the 2nd revision GOST 13052-74 / STSEV 356-76) and GOST 27463-87 / ST SEV 356-86.
Shift Out (SO) andShift In (SI)control characters are used in KOI-7, where SO starts printingRussian letters (KOI-7 N1), and SI starts printingLatin letters again (KOI-7 N0), or forlowercase anduppercase switching. This version is also known asKOI7-switched akacsKOI7switched.[2][3]
OnISO 2022 compatiblecomputer terminals KOI7-switched can be activated by the escape sequenceESC ( @ ESC ) N LS0.[2]
KOI-7 was used on machines like theSM EVM (СМ ЭВМ) andDVK (ДВК); KOI-7 N2 was utilized in the machine-language of theЭлектроника Д3-28 [ru] (Elektronika D3-28) as four-digit hexadecimal code,БЭСМ-6 [ru] (BESM-6), where it was called ВКД, (internal data code). The encodings were also used onRSX-11,RT-11 and similar systems.[4]
KOI-7 N0[2] (КОИ-7 Н0[1]) is identical to the IRV set inISO 646:1967.[2] Compared toUS-ASCII, thedollar sign ("$") at code point 24 (hex) was replaced by theuniversal currency sign "¤", but this was not maintained in all cases, in particular not after the fall of theIron Curtain. Likewise, the IRV set inISO/IEC 646:1991 also changed the character back to a dollar sign.
KOI-7 N1 (КОИ-7 Н1[1]) was first standardized in GOST 13052-67,[5][6][7] and later also inISO 5427.[2] It is sometimes referred to as "koi-0" as well.[6]
Compared toASCII andISO 646 uppercase and lowercase letters are swapped in order to make it easier to recognize Russian text when presented using ASCII.[6]
To trim the alphabet into chunks of 32 characters the dottedЁ/ë was dropped.[6] In order to avoid conflicts with ASCII's and ISO 646's definition asDEL and its usage asEOF marker (-1) in some systems, it dropped the "CAPITAL HARD SIGN"Ъ that would have naturally resided at this location.[6]
In a Bulgarian variant the unnecessary Russian "CAPITAL YERY"Ы at code point 121 was replaced by the "CAPITAL HARD SIGN" Ъ.[6]

KOI-7 N2 (КОИ-7 Н2[1]), like KOI-7 N1, was also standardized in GOST 13052-67.[7]
