ABSTRACT

This document provides authors of specifications, software developers,
and content developers a common reference for interoperable text
manipulation on the World Wide Web.  Topics addressed include encoding
identification, early uniform normalization, string identity matching,
string indexing, and URI conventions, building on the Universal
Character Set, defined jointly by Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646.  Some
introductory material on characters and character encodings is also
provided.

BACKGROUND

The Character Model is based on our earlier "Requirements for String
Identity Matching and String Indexing":
