The Macintosh Ukrainian encoding is a variant of the original Macintosh Cyrillic encoding. Code points 162 (0xA2) representing the character ‹¢› and 182 (0xB6) representing the character ‹∂› were redefined to represent ‹Ґ› and ‹ґ›, respectively.

This encoding was used in Apple Macintosh computers prior to Mac OS 9 to represent texts in Cyrillic script including the letters ‹Ґ› and ‹ґ›, including the Ukrainian alphabet.

Since Mac OS 9, ‹Ґ› and ‹ґ› have been included in the Macintosh Cyrillic encoding.

Codepage layout

Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point and its decimal code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as ASCII.
