Hello,
I am trying to decipher a piece of text in an unusual encoding. The text is
Cyrillic Mongolian and was received by my friend on Yahoo Groups. Its raw
form is somewhat UTF-8-like and consists of byte pairs where the first is 84
hex and the second is mostly in the range 70...8F and occasionally outside
the range (40, 42, 43, 91, and maybe a few other values). Besides these
pairs, there are some single-byte ASCII characters and a couple of NCRs
(barred o and straight u ү and ө). Although I call this raw, I
do not know what transcodings Yahoo might have applied to the original text.
I tried using the latter byte of the 84-xx pairs as an offset within a range
of Cyrillic letters from code page 1251, but did not obtain meaningful words
(looking them up did not produce any results).
I am pasting below a blob of hex bytes broken down at ASCII boundaries,
followed by the full text as viewed in ISO 8859-1. Can somebody please help
me decipher this encoding?
Thank you,
Laurentiu
