<div>Ok, I understood your point.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But as per RFC 2865,</div>
<div>what is the meaning of then "UTF-8 encoded 10646 [7] characters", <strong>the [7]?</strong></div>
<div><strong>7 stands for what over here?</strong></div><strong></strong>
<div><br>And one more thing as per RFC 2865, </div>
<div>1) As per this new RFC only only we need to support US-ASCII not any other character set, right?</div>
<div>2) Does free RADIUS only supporting US-ASCII ?<br></div>
