IANA Charset Registration Procedures

摘要

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) (RFC-2045, RFC-2046,RFC-2047, RFC-2184) and various other Internet protocols are capableof using many different charsets. This in turn means that theability to label different charsets is essential.Note: The charset registration procedure exists solely to associate aspecific name or names with a given charset and to give an indicationof whether or not a given charset can be used in MIME text objects.In particular, the general applicability and appropriateness of agiven registered charset to a particular application is a protocolissue, not a registration issue, and is not dealt with by thisregistration procedure.
