The Unicode Code Points and
Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) - Unicode 6.0
Abstract
This memo documents IETF consensus for Internationalized Domain Names
for Applications (IDNA) derived character properties related to the
three code points, existing in Unicode 5.2, that changed property
values when version 6.0 was released. The consensus is that no
update is needed to RFC 5892 based on the changes made in Unicode
6.0.

1. Introduction
RFC 5892 [RFC5892] specifies an algorithm that was defined when
version 5.0 (later updated to version 5.2) [Unicode5.2] was the
current version of Unicode, and it also defines a derived property
value based on that algorithm. Unicode 6.0 [Unicode6] has changed
GeneralCategory of three code points that were allocated in
Unicode 5.2 or earlier. This implies that the derived property value
differs depending on whether the property definitions used are from
Unicode 5.2 or 6.0. These are non-backward-compatible changes as
described in Section 5.1 of RFC 5892.
The three code points are:
1.1. U+0CF1 KANNADA SIGN JIHVAMULIYA
The GeneralCategory for this character changes from So to Lo. This
implies that the derived property value changes from DISALLOWED to
PVALID.
1.2. U+0CF2 KANNADA SIGN UPADHMANIYA
The GeneralCategory for this character changes from So to Lo. This
implies that the derived property value changes from DISALLOWED to
PVALID.
1.3. U+19DA NEW TAI LUE THAM DIGIT ONE
The GeneralCategory for this character changes from Nd to No. This
implies that the derived property value changes from PVALID to
DISALLOWED.
2. IETF Consensus
No change to RFC 5892 is needed based on the changes made in
Unicode 6.0.

RFC 6452 IDNA Code Points November 2011
This consensus does not imply that no changes will be made to
RFC 5892 for all future updates of The Unicode Standard.
This RFC has been produced because 6.0 is the first version of
Unicode to be released since IDNA2008 was published.
3. IANA Considerations
IANA has updated the derived property value registry according to
RFC 5892 and the property values defined in The Unicode Standard
version 6.0.
4. Security Considerations
When the algorithm presented in RFC 5892 is applied using the
property definitions of Unicode Standard version 6.0, the result will
be different from when it is applied using the property definitions
of Unicode 5.2 for the three code points discussed in this document.
The three code points are unlikely to occur in internationalized
domain names, however, so the security implications of the changes
are minor.

discussed in this document is optimal.
