When you say "russian X", you mean "russian letter that looks like an X",
right?

Yep, exactly. I was trying to be clever and avoid encoding
problems ;-)


Yup. For those who kan't see KOI8 kharakters properly (like me!), this one
looks a bit like a rektangular W, possibly with a little tail like a Q, i
kan't remember.

I don't think those were KOI8 characters, my Firefox is set to UTF-8
encoding... then again, I have no idea really.
Also, I have custom made Russian keyboard layout which only one person
in world uses (me) - and I have no idea whether this is mapped to
Unicode Russian, Windows Russian, or UNIX Russian (KOI-8).
