    ISO/IEC 10646-1 defines a large character set called the Universal
    Character Set (UCS) which encompasses most of the world's writing
    systems. The originally proposed encodings of the UCS, however, were
    not compatible with many current applications and protocols, and this
    has led to the development of UTF-8, the object of this memo. UTF-8
    has the characteristic of preserving the full US-ASCII range,
    providing compatibility with file systems, parsers and other software
    that rely on US-ASCII values but are transparent to other values.
    This memo obsoletes and replaces RFC 2279.

    This is now a Standard Protocol.

    This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
    the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
    for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
    "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
    standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
    of this memo is unlimited.

    This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
    Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
    should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be
    added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
    be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.

    Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending
    an EMAIL message to rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG with the message body
    help: ways_to_get_rfcs. For example:

            To: rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG
            Subject: getting rfcs

            help: ways_to_get_rfcs

    Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
    author of the RFC in question, or to RFC-Manager@RFC-EDITOR.ORG. Unless
    specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
    unlimited distribution.echo
    Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to
