database equivalent

[speciesbeing]

Hello! 

 

I want to ask you one quick question. What is the database equivalent of ISO-8859-5 ?

 

Here are some examples with their equivalents:

 

// Chinese-traditional.
	'big5' => 'big5',
	// Chinese-simplified.
	'gbk' => 'gbk',
	// West European.
	'ISO-8859-1' => 'latin1',
	// Romanian.
	'ISO-8859-2' => 'latin2',
	// Turkish.
	'ISO-8859-9' => 'latin5',
	// Thai.
	'tis-620' => 'tis620',
	// Persian, Chinese, etc.
	'UTF-8' => 'utf8',
	// Russian.
	'windows-1251' => 'cp1251',
	// Greek.
	'windows-1253' => 'utf8',
	// Hebrew.
	'windows-1255' => 'utf8',
	// Arabic.
	'windows-1256' => 'cp1256',

 

Thank you.

So the database equivalent of ISO-8859-5 is ISO88595 ?

 

In my case it will be:

 

// Macedonian.

 

'ISO-8859-5' => 'ISO88595',

 

right?

[vikramjeet.singla]

no it will be

 

'windows-1251' => 'cp1251'

[speciesbeing]

why?

 

My encoding is ISO-8859-5, so I need the database equivalent, so later I can convert the symbols into UTF-8.

any help, please?
