Unicode Format for Network Interchange
RFC 5198, “Unicode Format for Network Interchange”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2008 by J. Klensin, M. Padlipsky. It updates RFC 854. It obsoletes RFC 698. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Internet today is in need of a standardized form for the transmission of internationalized "text" information, paralleling the specifications for the use of ASCII that date from the early days of the ARPANET. This document specifies that format, using UTF-8 with normalization and specific line-ending sequences. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
