I'm not sure about 7-bit or 8-bit, but e.g. my NEC pager supported full uppercase ASCII and, in addition, a full set of uppercase Cyrillic. Could have been KOI-7, but then some of the punctuation symbols would be missing, so I reckon it was actually using an 8-bit encoding underneath, e.g. KOI-8.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoThe article shows "(7 bit/symbol)", but I guess that some pagers were more advanced ?

But then there also were some very cursed Soviet encodings that only had those Cyrillic letters that don't have identically-looking Latin counterparts: https://habr.com/ru/post/547820/ https://habr.com/ru/post/547820/
