Yup, agree. And I am interested in knowing what are the representations. I noticed that in journal the upper character codes are encoded, no matter where (owner, RRData) are they:

SOA: d.itcnetworks burebista.itcnetworks. . 424 10800 3600 604800 86400
d.itcnetworks 12312 IN TXT "\129\132\225"
SOA: d.itcnetworks burebista.itcnetworks. . 424 10800 3600 604800 86400
d.itcnetworks 12312 IN TXT "\225\148\132\129"
SOA: d.itcnetworks burebista.itcnetworks. . 425 10800 3600 604800 86400
SOA: d.itcnetworks burebista.itcnetworks. . 425 10800 3600 604800 86400
\223\252\246\228\252\214\196.d.itcnetworks. TXT "\223\228" "\196" "\220"
           TXT    "\223\252\246\228\220\214\196"
SOA: d.itcnetworks burebista.itcnetworks. . 426 10800 3600 604800 86400

So, in fact, the named is using a proprietary encoding. Could I use as a fact the supposition that named is always replacing the characters with \*** encoding? I am refering to: journals, zone files, query / update answers.

	The DNS moves bits not characters.  It up to the application
	to display the bits as it sees fit.

Yes, I understand that. My question is refering strictly to encodings. I mean, is there a standard or a presentation of this encodings? A client should know this aspect. From where?

Thx
