MacCyrillic is like CP1251 for lowercase letters but for uppercase I
could not find
any similarities -- it uses 0x80 to 0x9f with except of capital letter
IO which is 0xDD.
Small letter IO also differs from CP1251 -- it is 0xDE.

There are also several variants of CP1251: CP1251-k (KazWin, encoding
used in
Kazakhstan), Chuvashski and Tatarski variants. The are subsets of
Russian CP1251
and change symbols starting from 0x80 to 0x9f (or 0xBF for CP1251-k).
