Abstract

This document describes the changes between Unicode 6.2.0 and Unicode
12.0.0 in the context of IDNA2008. Some additions and changes have
been made in the Unicode Standard that affect the values produced by
the algorithm IDNA2008 specifies. IDNA2008 allows adding exceptions
to the algorithm for backward compatibility; however, this document
does not add any such exceptions. This document provides the
necessary tables to IANA to make its database consisstent with
Unicode 12.0.0.

To improve understanding, this document describes systems that are
being used as alternatives to those that conform to IDNA2008.
