Title : ASCII Escaping of Unicode Characters
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-unicode-escapes-01.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2007-1-29
There are a number of circumstances in which an escape mechanism is
needed in conjunction with a protocol to encode characters that
cannot be represented or transmitted directly. With ASCII coding the
traditional escape has been either the decimal or hexadecimal offset
of the character, written in a variety of different ways. The move
to Unicode, where characters occupy two or more octets and may be
coded in several different forms, has further complicated the
question of escapes. This document discusses some options now in use
and makes a proposal for general use in new IETF protocols and
protocols that are now being internationalized.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-klensin-unicode-escapes-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
