This document specifies a reference set of Label Generation Rules for Ukrainian using a limited repertoire as appropriate for a second level domain.
Most references converge on 33 Cyrillic code points. There is some disagreement concerning U+044A (ъ) CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER HARD SIGN and U+0451 (ё) CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IO. While CLDR considers U+0451 (ё) CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IO part of the main alphabet, these appear to be used in Russian words or names, not in Ukrainian words and names themselves. Both of these letters are part of the extended repertoire as defined here along with many letters used for Ukrainian. In Russian, the hard sign indicates the non-palatalization of a consonant preceding a morpheme beginning with a iotated vowel; in Ukrainian this function is met by the use of an apostrophe or of U+02BC (ʼ) MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE.
Note that, while U+02BC (ʼ) MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE is protocol valid (PVALID) in IDNA2008; other forms of apostrophes such as U+0027 (') APOSTROPHE or U+2019 (’) RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK are DISALLOWED. As [RFC6912] points out, in a public zone, many users may read U+02BC (ʼ) as indistinguishable from the regular apostrophe. Therefore, following the principle of conservatism, and in response to a comment made by the IAB during public Comments, the code point U+02BC (ʼ) is not included here.
An IDN table published in the IANA Repository of IDN Practices for Ukrainian by .ua (Ukrainian cctld) in [700] contains many code points beyond what would be used in Ukrainian and even languages used in adjacent areas. Code points not corroborated by any other reference but used for Belarusian, Russian, and Moldovan have been added to the extended repertoire. South Slavic characters are excluded here.
For other IDNA TLD dedicated to Ukrainian: see .укр [YKP] and the IDNA table in [701]. That table shows a repertoire combining Russian and Ukrainian.
In Ukrainian, the acute accent may be used as a stress mark on the vowel of a syllable or to disambiguate between minimal pairs. However, as in Russian, it is restricted to dictionaries and educational materials. See Stress and Disambiguation in [ACUTE].

A number of letters not considered essential to writing the core vocabulary of the language are nevertheless in common use. Where they have not been added to the core repertoire, they are flagged as "extended-cp" in the table of code points. A context rule is provided that by default will prohibit labels with extended code points. To support extended single code points or code point sequences, delete the context "extended-cp" from their repertoire definition.
None.
Note: a study of a possible variant relationship concerning U+0433 (г) CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE and U+0491 (ґ) CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE WITH UPTURN was undertaken in the context of Ukrainian by a Cyrillic case study team in [CYRILLIC-VIP] (page 6, section 3.2). The experts point to some instability concerning the encoding of the GHE WITH UPTURN and the possible confusion between the two code points by non-Ukrainian users. However, in the context of a Ukrainian LGR it does not seem necessary to establish such a variant relationship between these two code points.
This LGR defines no named character classes.
Common rules:
Hyphen Restrictions — restrictions on the allowable placement of hyphens (no leading/ending hyphen and no hyphen in positions 3 and 4). These restrictions are described in section 4.2.3.1 of RFC5891 [120]. They are implemented here as context rule on U+002D (-) HYPHEN-MINUS.
Leading Combining Marks — restrictions on the allowable placement of combining marks (no leading combining mark). This rule is described in section 4.2.3.2 of RFC5891 [120].
Actions included are the default actions for LGRs as well as those needed to invalidate labels with misplaced combining marks and apostrophe modifiers.
This reference LGR for Ukrainian for the 2nd Level has been developed by Michel Suignard and Asmus Freytag, verified in expert reviews by Michael Everson, Nicholas Ostler, and Wil Tan, and based on multiple open public consultations.

The following table lists the actions that are used to assign dispositions to labels and variant labels, based on the specified conditions. The order of actions defines their precedence: the first action triggered by a label is the one defining its disposition.
