Abstract
It is clear that Unicode will eventually exhaust its supply of codepoints, and more will be needed. Assuming ISO and the UnicodeConsortium follow the practices of the IETF, the next Unicode codepoint size will be 128 bits. This document describes how this future128-bit Unicode can be leveraged to improve IPv6 adoption and finallybring internationalization support to IPv6.
