I am trying to create a MULE input method for cyrillic characters that
corresponds to de-facto standard russian keyboard layout in Windows.
Looked into leim/quail/cyrillic.el and found weird string/character
constants like ,L9FC:5=(B or ?,L9(B
How could I know that the latter corresponds to cyrillic letter ""
(unicode 0x0419)? Are there any tables? I have googled for MULE and
found only MULE internal representation that is not appropriate here...
Elisp manual is also keeping silence...

After you read the cyrillic.el source into a buffer does the mode line
start with -u...? If not try C-x RET c and then utf-8. Then issue the
following command: open "leim/quail/cyrillic.el" This assumes that you
are using emacs for your editor, of course.
Here is a piece of the cyrillic.el just for a check:
("C" ?,LF(B) ("Ch" ?,LG(B) ("CH" ?,LG(B)
Oops! Forget about the above advice. Copypasting directly from emacs
into Outlook Express via the clipboard produced the above. That
coresponds with the following in unicode (utf-8). To get this I had to
save ( using C-x RET f for visited file encoding) cyrillic.el to another
subdirectory, then open that version in Word, from which I could
copypaste into OE. I'm sure that if I were using Linux I could have
avoided all this.
Some Latin-Cyrillic transcription rules:
("C" ?Ц) ("Ch" ?Ч) ("CH" ?Ч)
("Sh" ?Ш) ("SH" ?Ш)
("Shch" ?Щ) ("SHCH" ?Щ) ("Sj" ?Щ) ("SJ" ?Щ)
("/Sht" ?Щ) ("/SHT" ?Щ) ("/T" ?Щ)
("~~" "Ъ") ("Y" ?Ы) ("''" "Ь") ("E'" ?Э) ("E`" ?Э)
Apparently the lisp sources are in some emacs native encoding rather
than in unicode. If you load the file into a buffer the mode line says:
-J: ....
