ассеss  (typed in Cyrillic, except for "ss", if you have an Unicode reader)

Some of Cyrillic letters look same. Many are just same. There are same
letters with different phonetic meaning than their Latin counterparts. Here
is an incomplete list of same looking letters. The left side is Latin, the
right side is Cyrillic.

a = а
y = у (but means "u")
k = к (has shorter vertical dash, capital letters are identical)
e = е
h ~ н (capital letters are identical, the meaning is "n")
x = х (but means "h")
b ~ в (capital letters are identical, the meaning is "v")
p = р (the meaning is "r")
o = о
c = с (the meaning is "s")
m = м (capital letters are identical)
t = т (capital letters are identical)

Earlier 7-bit Cyrillic encodings used phonetic equivalence of letters. For
example in KOI-7 (КОИ-7) the codes both A's differs in one bit.
