International email, by contrast, uses Unicode characters encoded as UTF-8 —allowing for the encoding the text of addresses in most of the world's writing systems. [4] The following are all valid international email addresses : 用户@例子.广告 ( Chinese, Unicode ) ಬೆಂಬಲ@ಡೇಟಾಮೇಲ್.ಭಾರತ ( Kannada, Unicode)
To use Unicode in certain email header fields, e.g. subject lines, sender and recipient names, the Unicode text has to be encoded using a MIME "Encoded-Word" with a Unicode encoding as the charset. To use Unicode in domain part of email addresses, IDNA encoding must traditionally be used. Alternatively, SMTPUTF8 [3] allows the use of UTF-8 ...
UTF-8. UTF-8 is a variable-length character encoding standard used for electronic communication. Defined by the Unicode Standard, the name is derived from Unicode Transformation Format – 8-bit. [1] UTF-8 is capable of encoding all 1,112,064 [a] valid Unicode code points using one to four one- byte (8-bit) code units.
Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard, [note 1] is a text encoding standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium designed to support the use of text written in all of the world's major writing systems. Version 15.1 of the standard [A] defines 149 813 characters [3] and 161 scripts used in various ordinary, literary, academic, and technical ...
In some countries, e-mail software violates RFC 5322 by sending raw non-ASCII text and several encoding schemes co-exist; as a result, by default, the message in a non-Latin alphabet language appears in non-readable form (the only exception is a coincidence if the sender and receiver use the same encoding scheme).
The Universal Coded Character Set (UCS, Unicode) is a standard set of characters defined by the international standard ISO/IEC 10646, Information technology — Universal Coded Character Set (UCS) (plus amendments to that standard), which is the basis of many character encodings, improving as characters from previously unrepresented typing systems are added.
Example of Greek IDN with domain name in non-Latin alphabet: ουτοπία.δπθ.gr (Punycode is xn--kxae4bafwg.xn--pxaix.gr)An internationalized domain name (IDN) is an Internet domain name that contains at least one label displayed in software applications, in whole or in part, in non-Latin script or alphabet or in the Latin alphabet-based characters with diacritics or ligatures.
ISO/IEC 2022 Information technology—Character code structure and extension techniques, is an ISO / IEC standard in the field of character encoding. It is equivalent to the ECMA standard ECMA-35, [1] [2] the ANSI standard ANSI X3.41 [3] and the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS X 0202. Originating in 1971, it was most recently revised in 1994.
