Ok, I understood your point.

But as per RFC 2865,
what is the meaning of then "UTF-8 encoded 10646 [7] characters", *the [7]?*
*7 stands for what over here?*
**

And one more thing as per RFC 2865,
1) As per this new RFC only only we need to support US-ASCII not any other
character set, right?
2) Does free RADIUS only supporting US-ASCII ?
