UTF\-7, +as its name suggests, is a 7\-bit re-encoded version of UTF\-16BE. It +is designed to be MTA-safe and expected to be a standard way to +exchange Unicoded mails via mails. But with the advent of UTF\-8 and +8\-bit compliant MTAs, UTF\-7 is hardly ever used. +.PP +UTF\-7 was not supported by Encode until version 1.95 because of that. +But Unicode::String, a module by Gisle Aas which adds Unicode supports +to non\-utf8\-savvy perl did support UTF\-7, the UTF\-7 support was added +so Encode can supersede Unicode::String 100%. +.SH "In Practice" +.IX Header "In Practice" +When you want to encode Unicode for mails and web pages, however, do +not use UTF\-7 unless you are sure your recipients and readers can +handle it. Very few MUAs and WWW Browsers support these days (only +Mozilla seems to support one). For general cases, use UTF\-8 for +message body and MIME-Header for header instead. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +Encode, Encode::Unicode, Unicode::String +.PP +RFC 2781 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2152.txt> |
