<abstract><t>In order to support the internationalization of protocols and a more diverse Internet community, the RFC Series must evolve to allow for the use of non-ASCII characters in RFCs.  While English remains the required language of the Series, the encoding of future RFCs will be in UTF-8, allowing for a broader range of characters than typically used in the English language.  This document describes the RFC Editor requirements and gives guidance regarding the use of non-ASCII characters in RFCs.</t><t>This document updates RFC 7322.  Please view this document in PDF form to see the full text.</t></abstract>
