IPv6 address is converted to its binary form {…}; The binary value is encoded to base32 (RFC 4648) {…}; Padding symbols “======” are removed from the end of the string.
You can now put text into the address like with .onion sites, or session messenger nicks.
Meanwhile my gateway is
fe80::17a9:3ba7:5¥4🐔:b8ä7%42sup
R U local?
Wait is there an existing unicode to ipv6 method. I assume it would just be the bit values of the emoji in utf8?
fe80::“hello 🐔” aka fe80::6865:6c6c:6f20:f09f:9094
I approve of the idea of cursed ipv6 notation.
I was joking, but it would be cool if each segment could be rendered as a UTF-8 glyphs.
That would be a funny way to avoid DNS, just make the address the name.
