Cyrillic (Unicode block)

Cyrillic is a Unicode block containing the characters used to write the most widely used languages with a Cyrillic orthography. The core of the block is based on the ISO 8859-5 standard, with additions for minority languages and historic orthographies.

For an overview of Cyrillic coverage across multiple Unicode blocks, see Cyrillic script in Unicode.
