Ah, you're right.

I'd considered that but I think that "CP20866" and "CP21866" should
not be supported, because "KOI8-R" and "KOI8-U" are the official
IANA-registered names and the CP names likely wouldn't be recognised
when connecting to Unix hosts. Also, the CP equivalents of other
charsets, e.g. "CP936" for "GBK", aren't supported either.
