== Convert this to a table ==
The Cyrillic version needs to be added as a separate table.
However, the original source material does not have it in an HTML table so someone more skilled needs to do it.
<pre>The code was relatively straightforward: letters of the Russian alphabet were laid out in five rows of six letters:
А Б В Г Д Е/Ё
Ж З И К Л М
Н О П Р С Т
У Ф Х Ц Ч Ш
Щ Ъ Ы Э Ю Я
Each letter was then designated by a pair of taps, the first signifying the row, the second the position in the row:
1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5 1,6
2,1 2,2 2,3 2,4 2,5 2,6
3,1 3,2 3,3 3,4 3,5 3,6
4,1 4,2 4,3 4,4 4,5 4,6
5,1 5,2 5,3 5,4 5,5 5,6
Even those who had not read about the code or learned it from others sometimes figured it out, as there were standard methods of teaching it.
Those who knew it would sometimes tap out the alphabet, over and over again, together with one or two simple questions, in the hope that the unseen person on the other side of the wall would catch on.</pre>
