UTF-8: how does that view mesh with >This scheme is syntactically compatible with the generic URI syntax defined in RFC 3986 ^ that defines the percent encoding scheme. About the only way I can think of is if Gemini URLs are a superset, and don't need to use percent encoding... but that means ambiguity when someone hands you a percent-encoded URL. Did they mean %C5 or %C5?

Maybe they really mean IRIs (RFC 3987).

  There was some work on using RFC-3987 but it went nowhere as there was contention about how to handle international domain names---do you convert to puny code or not? Seriously, that's where it got hung up on.
