Abstract

AMC-ACE-Z is a simple and efficient ASCII-Compatible Encoding (ACE) designed for use with Internationalized Domain Names [IDN] [IDNA]. It uniquely and reversibly transforms a Unicode string [UNICODE] into an ASCII string. ASCII characters in the Unicode string are represented literally, and non-ASCII characters are represented by ASCII characters that are allowed in hostname labels (letters, digits, and hyphens). Bootstring is a general algorithm that allows a string of basic code points to uniquely represent any string of code points drawn from a larger set. AMC-ACE-Z is an instance Bootstring that uses particular parameter values appropriate for IDNA and uses an IDNA signature prefix (or suffix). This document specifies Bootstring and the parameter values for AMC-ACE-Z.
