  Face of Russia: Cyrillic Alphabet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Cyrillic Alphabet was named for St. Cyril, although there is some dispute as to whether this is the alphabet he invented or not.
Cyril was a Greek monk who, with Methodius, brought written language to Christian converts in the mid-9th century (c.860) in what is now Russia.
Further unnecessary letters were expunged in 1918, leaving the alphabet as it is today—still in use in many Slavic Orthodox countries.

  Cyrillic alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The theory is further supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet replaced almost completely the Glagolitic one in northeastern Bulgaria as early as the end of the 10th century, whereas the Ohrid Literary School—where Saint Clement worked—continued to use the Glagolitic alphabet until the 12th century.
Although Cyril is almost certainly not the author of the Cyrillic alphabet, his contributions to Glagolitic alphabet and hence to the Cyrillic alphabet are still recognised, as the latter is named after him.
Cyrillic upper- and lowercase letter-forms are not as differentiated as in Latin typography.

Upright cyrillic lowercase letters are essentially small capitals/, with the exception of a few forms such as "a" and "e" which adopted western lowercase shapes (although a good cyrillic type face will still include a separate small-caps font).

The set of Cyrillic letters is not as uniform in extent as the Latin set, in particular, several letters were added in Serbia, deleting some required for other Slavic languages, and as late as 1917 four letters were removed from the Russian alphabet.
Cyrillic script is written from left to right, and has a definite alphabetic order for the letters, (with small deviations for the individual languages).
Letters are indicated with their full name on the left page, and on both pages with the short identifier (SID) explained in the list in Annex B. The names of the letters are those specified in ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993.

Since the number of Cyrillic letters is not too big, the typical approach is to use some of the numerical (ASCII) codes between 128 and 255 to represent capital and lower-case letters of the Cyrillic script.
The corresponding lowercase letters are from 224 to 255.

Cyrillic fonts, however, are different because they contain both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets in them to accommodate the users who would like to mix and match both languages without having to change fonts.
Some Cyrillic keyboard layouts, however, allow you only to type in Cyrillic languages and force you to switch to a different layout of you would like to type in English, for example.
An example would be a keyboard layout For example, the layout found in Daniel Chirkov's KOI-8 font package produces Latin letters when the Command (open-apple, clover leaf) key is depressed, and Cyrillic letters when the Shift key is depressed.

The brothers and orthodox Slavonic monks Cyrill and Methodius invented the Glagolitic script in Macedonia in the year 863 as an encrypted Greek alphabet with extensions for special Slavic sounds.

Note that one letter, the lowercase be, may have a preferred variant form in both regular (roman) and italic fonts.
The former, the 'sloped roman' italic is not, as one contributor suggested, 'traditional' in sans serif types in either Latin or Cyrillic typography; rather, it is the common italic in one particular style of sans serif lettering, the so-called geometric or modernist style.

Serbian Cyrillic, although to a non-slav may seem same to Russian or Bulgarian Cyrillic, is really quite unique.
Serbs think their cyrillic is the most perfect alphabet in the world, because of it's unique "one letter represents one voice" philosophy.
In Serbian cyrillic, each voice that can be pronounced in a word is indicated by only and exactly one letter.

 Send SMS — Kyivstar
Receiving messages in Cyrillic letters is not supported by all models of telephones, thus we are recommending you to send message in Cyrillic only if you are sure that receiver’s telephone set is supporting Cyrillic in SMS.
If you are typing the message in Cyrillic letters but choosing «Roman», then Cyrillic letters will be transliterated into Roman letters and text will be sent in Roman alphabet.
Please, do not forget that when transliterating is done some Cyrillic letters are transferred with couple of Roman; that is why the result message could be longer than you are expecting and could consist of more than 160 symbols.

The file was originally named Cyrillic.kmap and it serves as a table for input of Cyrillic characters on latin (ASCII) keyboards by means of transliteration.
The method itself is not important here, but the ordering of Cyrillic letters is. It seems to be the correct ordering for all Slavic languages using Cyrillic.
It is possible also to rotate LETTER IO and LETTER UKRAINIAN IE, but it is not so important because Ukrainian has no LETTER IO, just UKRAINIAN IE is a bit closer to IE than IO is. I have checked the ordering with Ukrainian, Byelorussian and Serbocroatian dictionaries.
