This document proposed a mechanism for language tagging in [UNICODE]
plain text. A set of special-use tag characters on Plane 14 of
[ISO10646] (accessible through UTF-8, UTF-16, and UCS-4 encoding
forms) are proposed for encoding to enable the spelling out of
ASCII-based string tags using characters which can be strictly
separated from ordinary text content characters in ISO10646 (or
UNICODE).
