Internationalizing IPv6 Using 128-Bit Unicode
RFC 8369, “Internationalizing IPv6 Using 128-Bit Unicode”, is an Informational document published in April 2018 by H. Kaplan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
It is clear that Unicode will eventually exhaust its supply of code points, and more will be needed. Assuming ISO and the Unicode Consortium follow the practices of the IETF, the next Unicode code point size will be 128 bits. This document describes how this future 128-bit Unicode can be leveraged to improve IPv6 adoption and finally bring internationalization support to IPv6.
