+RFC 5242 Unified CCS April 2008
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ Many issues have been identified with the use of general-purpose
+ character sets for internationalized domain names and similar
+ purposes. This memo specifies a fully unified coded character set
+ for scripts based on Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Chinese characters.
+
+ There are four important principles in this work:
+
+ 1. If it looks alike, it is alike. The number of base characters
+ and marks should be minimized. Glyphs are more important than
+ character abstractions.
+
+ 2. If it is the same thing, it is the same thing. Two symbols that
+ have the same semantic meaning in all contexts should be encoded
+ in a way that allows their identity to be discovered by removing
+ modifiers, rather than having to resort to external equivalence
+ tables.
+
+ 3. For simplicity, when a character form can be evaluated on the
+ basis of either serif or sanserif fonts, the sanserif font is
+ always preferred.
+
+ 4. The use of combining characters and modifiers is preferred to
+ adding more base characters.
+
+ Based on these principles, it becomes obvious that:
+
+ o Ligatures, digraphs, and final forms are constructed with special
+ modifiers so that relationships to basic forms are obvious.
+
+ o Symbols consisting of multiple marks are always constructed from
+ combining characters and positional modifiers; thus, the "i"
+ character is constructed from the vertical line symbol followed by
+ a combining dot above. Similarly "f" is composed of a centered
+ vertical line, a right hook in the top position, and an
+ appropriately-positioned composing hyphen.
+
+ This document draws strongly from the design and terminology of
+ Unicode [Unicode] but represents a radically different approach.
+
+1.1. Terminology
+
+ All special-use terms in this document, including descriptions of
+ behaviors and related relationships, are used with their common-sense
+ meanings.
+
+
+
+
+
+Klensin & Alvestrand Informational [Page 3]
+
+RFC 5242 Unified CCS April 2008
+
+
+1.2. Discussion
+
+ Questions to, and contributions for, this coding system should be
+ addressed to the mailing list
+ unified-ccs@xn--iwem3b1f.xn--90ase1a.bogus.domain.name.
+
+2. Types of Characters
+
+ This document defines several types of characters. Note that these
+ definitions are not the same as the Unicode definitions for similar
+ or identical terms.
+
+2.1. Base Character
+
+ Any character that is used as an atomic shape, rather than being
+ assembled from such a character in combination with combining
+ (overstriking) marks, symbols, or specially-designed base characters.
+ When used alone, base characters always take up space. For example,
+ a, c, l,...
+
+2.2. Nonspacing Marks
+
+ Marks, symbols, and character components that are used to form
+ characters when used in combination with base characters. They do
+ not occupy separate character positions when displayed.
+
+ For example, the special combining symbols LeftUpperHook and
+ RightLowerHook, described in Section 5, are nonspacing marks.
+
+2.3. Case Indicators
+
+ In scripts with case, only the lower-case characters are base
+ characters. Upper-case forms are represented by using the UC
+ modifier. So the traditional "A" character is represented by
+ "a<UC>". Note that this means that case-independent comparisons are
+ made simply by ignoring the <UC> modifiers rather than by complicated
+ mapping operations.
+
+ The initial set of case modifiers consists exclusively of:
+
+ UC Upper-case, code value 1 (hexadecimal)
+
+ The code values two through four are reserved for the impending
+ encoding of scripts with more than two cases; five is reserved for
+ expansion in case a script with more than four cases is identified.
+
+
+
+

+Klensin & Alvestrand Informational [Page 4]
+
+RFC 5242 Unified CCS April 2008
+
+
+2.4. Joining Indicators
+
+ Zero-width joiners are used to build characters, not only to separate
+ or join words. As compared to Unicode, a richer set of joiners is
+ used to distinguish between the inter-word and ligature-forming
+ (including half-character forming) cases. Unicode ZWJ and ZWNJ are
+ supplemented by ZWCJ, OJ, and ONJ. ZWCJ is used to modify a spacing
+ basic character into a nonspacing role. For example, there is no "w"
+ character, but only "u<ZWCJ>u". Upper-case "W" is coded as
+ u<ZWCJ>u<UC> -- the CWCJ binds more tightly than the UC modifier.
+
+ The initial set of joining indicators consists exclusively of:
+
+ ZWCJ Character joiner (also known as "ligature joiner"), code value
+ 6 (hexadecimal).
+
+ OJ Overlay joiner (permits use of a subsequent character that would
+ normally be spacing as nonspacing), code value 7 (hexadecimal).
+
+ ONJ Overlay non-joiner (turns a nonspacing mark into a standalone
+ character), code value 8 (hexadecimal). This joiner should not be
+ necessary, and is normally prohibited by the "shortest string"
+ rule. But there may be unanticipated cases.
+
+ ZWJ Zero-width joiner for words or word-like constructions, code
+ value 9 (hexadecimal).
+
+ ZWNJ Zero-width non-joiner for words or word-like constructions,
+ code value A (hexadecimal).
+
+2.5. Character-Matrix Positioning Indicators
+
+ Many characters are defined by constructed glyphs using nonspacing
+ marks. For example, the characters "b" and "d" are coded as
+ o<VerticalLine><PositionLeft> and o<VerticalLine><PositionRight>,
+ respectively. The Catalan ligature that has caused some difficulties
+ in Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) [RFC3490]
+ is coded as l<ZWCJ><.><PositionVMiddle><ZWCJ>l

+RFC 5242 Unified CCS April 2008
+
+
+ The initial table of positioning indicators is:
+
+ +-------------------+-----------+
+ | Name | Hex value |
+ +-------------------+-----------+
+ | PositionLeft | 20 |
+ | PositionCenter | 21 |
+ | PositionRight | 22 |
+ | PositionTop | 30 |
+ | PositionVMiddle | 31 |
+ | PositionBottom | 32 |
+ | PositionDescender | 33 |
+ +-------------------+-----------+
+
+2.6. Position Shaping Controls
+
+ These controls designate character form changes for initial or final-
+ form characters. Where the distinction is important, medial-form
+ characters are the default when no qualification occurs. As with
+ case comparisons, comparisons are performed by ignoring these control
+ functions.
+
+ +-------------+-----------+
+ | Name | Hex value |
+ +-------------+-----------+
+ | InitialForm | 71 |
+ | FinalForm | 72 |
+ +-------------+-----------+
+
+2.7. Repetition Indicators
+
+ For compactness of coding, two repetition indicators are introduced
+ for double (Repeat2) and triple (Repeat3) characters that may be
+ treated as ligatures or special cases. Two consecutive uses of a
+ character compare equal to the character followed by <Repeat2>. The
+ interpretation of u<ZWCJ>u<Repeat3> is left as an exercise for the
+ reader.
+
+ The initial table of repetition indicators is:
+
+ +---------+-----------+
+ | Name | Hex value |
+ +---------+-----------+
+ | Repeat2 | 50 |
+ | Repeat3 | 51 |
+ | Repeat1 | 52 |
+ +---------+-----------+
+
+
+
+
+Klensin & Alvestrand Informational [Page 6]
+
+RFC 5242 Unified CCS April 2008
+
+
+ For larger repeats, these repeats can be combined; the sequence
+ <Repeat2><Repeat3> represents six repeats, while the
+ <Repeat3><Repeat2> represents five repeats. Following the "shortest
+ string" principle (see Section 4), Repeat1 must not ever appear
+ except in combination with Repeat2 and/or Repeat3. The generation of
+ other numbers is left as an exercise for the reader.
+
+2.8. Control Characters
+
+ Because it is intended primarily for domain names, this specification
+ has no provision for control or spacing characters.
+
+3. Code Assigment Groupings
+
+ Following the reasoning used in Unicode [Unicode], every character
+ occupies exactly 23 bits (conventionally stored as three octets, with
+ the leading bit always zero). This value is chosen because both 3
+ and 23 are prime numbers, unlike 42.
+
+ The code point value zero is permanently reserved and will not be
+ used unless it is necessary to expand the code space.
+
+ Code values between 1 and 255 (decimal) are reserved for the special
+ character formation codes described in Section 2.3 through
+ Section 2.7.
+
+ Code values between 256 and 511 (decimal) are reserved for character
+ formation marks for non-ideographic characters. Most, but not all,
+ of these are nonspacing (combining) characters.
+
+ Code values between 512 and 1023 are reserved on general principles
+ and in case it is necessary to invent new rules and make them
+ retroactive.
+
+ Code values of 1024 and above are to be allocated for characters,
+ glyphs, and other character elements.
+
+4. Canonical Form
+
+ When glyphs are constructed using the mechanisms described here,
+ there is a single canonical form for representing any given glyph.
+ There are no exceptions to that form, and any sequence of characters
+ and qualifiers that is not consistent with the form is invalid. If
+ there are two possible ways to represent a given character, the
+ shorter one (in octet count) is the only permitted form. If there
+ are two possible ways that are of the same length, the only permitted
+ form is the one that has the smaller value when the numeric values of
+ all of the octets in each are summed.
+
+
+
+Klensin & Alvestrand Informational [Page 7]
+
+RFC 5242 Unified CCS April 2008
+
+
+ The ordering rules are as follows:
+
+ 1. A base character or composite character (see below) must come
+ first.
+
+ 2. The base character may be followed by ZWCJ or OJ, but not both,
+ followed by a base or nonspacing character or mark.
+
+ 3. If ZWCJ appears, the next character must be a base character or
+ nonspacing mark.
+
+ 4. If OJ appears, the next character must be a base character, since
+ the function of OJ is to make a spacing base character into a
+ nonspacing (overlay) character.
+
+ 5. That character can be followed by positional qualifiers that
+ apply to it. Vertical positional qualifiers precede horizontal
+ positional qualifiers.
+
+ 6. That sequence of characters may be followed by a case qualifier.
+
+ 7. That entire sequence of characters forms a composite character.
+ When the composite character is non-trivial, the rules may be
+ applied to it recursively. If grouping is needed to distinguish
+ between one composite character and the next, ZWNCJ may be used
+ at the beginning of a composite character to identify a group
+ boundary.
+
+5. Examples of Graphic Element Codes
+
+ The initial lists of positioning and combining controls appear above.
+ This section shows codes for some base characters. Names in upper
+ case are the Unicode names for the characters. These are followed,
+ for information, by the Unicode code point designations. The code
+ point list is informative, not normative, and may not be complete
+ (especially since additional matching code points may be added to
+ Unicode over time). Note that several Unicode characters that are
+ considered different by Unicode are assigned the same code sequence
+ in the system specified here.

+
+7. Ideographic Characters
+
+ Because of the traditional model of forming characters using selected
+ radicals and strokes in combination, Han-derived ("CJK") characters
+ are even more naturally represented, with less ambiguity, in the
+ system specified here than European ones. The mechanisms used in
+ this specification and represented in the tables (see Section 8) are
+ similar to those described as "Radicals" and "Strokes" in Section 5.1
+ and in Section 5.2 ("Ideographic Description Characters") of The
+ Unicode Standard [Unicode]. Of course, following the same principles
+ outlined above for European characters, only radicals, stroke, and
+ description controls would be treated as base characters; no distinct
+ compound precomposed ideographic characters are registered.
+
+8. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA is requested to keep the actual registry of characters and code
+ tables. The registry entries consist of a character name (preferably
+ matching the Unicode character name when one is available), the code
+ sequence used to represent the character and optional descriptive
+ information. The characters and codes identified in Section 2,
+ Section 5, and Section 6 above should be used to initialize the
+ table. Since the coding system is user-extensible, registrations
+ should be accepted for new characters as long as they don't look like
+
+
+
+Klensin & Alvestrand Informational [Page 11]
+
+RFC 5242 Unified CCS April 2008
+
+
+ old ones. A designated expert with a background in calligraphy or
+ abstract art, and considerable experience in evaluating claims about
+ the count of angels on heads of pins, should be selected to advise
+ IANA on "looks like".
+
+9. Security Considerations
+
+ The representation of characters in this format should be a
+ significant boon for security. It eliminates many possibilities of
+ phishing attacks, since Principle 1 prevents the existence of two
+ characters that look alike but are different.
+
+ By detaching the encoding of characters for domain names from the
+ encoding of characters for other purposes, it also guarantees that
+ reasonable-looking names will have been encoded by competent
+ entities, thereby providing a significant degree of safety by
+ obscurity.
+
+ Because of the method by which upper-case forms are encoded and
+ because similarity is sometimes in the mind of the beholder, this
+ specification will not completely eliminate opportunities for visual
+ confusion. For example, because the lower-case characters are quite
+ different, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A and GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA will
+ never compare equal, even though they look alike.
+
+10. Acknowledgments
+
+ The authors would like to acknowledge the many contributions of
+ J.F.C. Morphin for pointing out the inadequacies of trying to address
+ the challenges of internationalization within the context of existing
+ engineering principles. His comments and related ones, in
+ combination with issues encountered in trying to internationalize
+ domain names based on Unicode, have contributed greatly to the frame
+ of mind underlying large parts of the proposal documented here. The
+ theoretical framework for this coding system is based, in part, on
+ Unicode and its collection of names and sample glyphs but represents
+ a very different approach to the coding system itself.
