9. IANA Considerations

The entry for UTF-8 in the IANA charset registry has been updated to point to this memo.

IANA Charset Registry

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains a registry of character set names (charsets) for use with MIME and other Internet protocols.

Registry Update

This RFC updates the existing UTF-8 entry in the registry to reference RFC 3629 instead of the obsoleted RFC 2279.

Registry Information

The updated registry entry for UTF-8 includes:

  • Name: UTF-8
  • MIBenum: 106
  • Source: RFC 3629
  • Alias: None
