Up to 14 different encodings are used to represent texts in Russian language (koi-7, koi-8r, cp866, cp1251, cp10007, utf-8, ...)! This program can perform conversion between them. It also can produce Unicode names for the symbol codes.

This program may also be used for transliteration (reversible substitution Cyrillic letters by Latin ones). Transliteration is the only way to make deal with Russian texts on the system without Cyrillic fonts. RUCNV knows two types of transliteration: GOST 7.79-2000 and KOI-7 based.

RUCNV may be used for conversion any Russian or Unicode texts into the form which will be accepted by any 8-bit text editor and for followed backward conversion.
