Cheshire Status: Informational Stream: IAB Date: February 2011 Mailbox: dthaler@microsoft.com, john+ietf@jck.com, cheshire@apple.com Pages: 24 Characters: 58799 Updates: RFC2130 I-D Tag: draft-iab-idn-encoding-04.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6055.txt This document explores issues with Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) that result from the use of various encoding schemes such as UTF-8 and the ASCII-Compatible Encoding produced by the Punycode algorithm. It focuses on the importance of agreeing on a single encoding and how complicated the state of affairs ends up being as a result of using different encodings today.
