Summary

Mac OS Ukrainian is a character encoding used on Apple Macintosh computers prior to Mac OS 9 to represent texts in Cyrillic script which include the letters ‹Ґ› and ‹ґ›, including the Ukrainian alphabet.

Succeeded byMacCyrillic (Euro update)

It is a variant of the original Mac OS Cyrillic encoding. Code points 162 (0xA2) representing the character ‹¢› and 182 (0xB6) representing the character ‹∂› were redefined to represent ‹Ґ› and ‹ґ›, respectively.

Since Mac OS 9, ‹Ґ› and ‹ґ› have been included in the Macintosh Cyrillic encoding.

Codepage layout edit

Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as ASCII.
