It sounds like Andreas showed that that page is erroneous. My guess is that you can’t support all the characters with code pages Microsoft ships, and that utf-8 would need to be used instead. This is a common state for many potential encodings.

Subject: Re: Which Character sets to support for kazakh cyrillic alphabet ?
I needed this information for localization (in kazakh) of a mobile device (with internet connectivity). UTF encodings are already supported. I wanted character-sets that are specific to kazakh language, and popular enough to be supported.
Looking out further, I found http://www.science.co.il/language/Character-Sets.asp which directly confirmed that iso-8859-5 and Windows-1251 cover the kazakh cyrillic alphabet.
And so, I would be adding these character sets.
Mark and Ed,
Thanks for the resources you shared.

The libiconv package (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) has mapping tables for two Kazakh encodings, PT192 and RK1048.
If anyone has a copy of an ST RK 920-91 mapping table they can make available (in printed or electronic form), or any other Kazakh encoding other than PT192 and RK1048, I would like to include them in http://www.math.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/csets

Mark,
Your collection has got two sets for cyrillic kazakh: RK1048 and PTCP154(Cyrillic-Asian).
Is PT192 (of libiconv) equivalent to PTCP154 ?
I think I should add support for these two as well.
