Notes:
Observe the #14 row of both tables:
The Notes column in the second table describes a different third Unicode code point than what appears in the Password column of the first table. As the first table is a direct excerpt from RFC7613, it should not be modified and so the second table should be corrected to contain a proper corresponding example.

Section 1 says:
Please review the PDF version of this draft.
It should say:
Please review the "PDF with images" version of this draft.
Notes:
This may not be precisely an erratum, but this seems like the right place to report and record it. While the above statement points to the PDF version (as explained further on, to be able to see the non-ASCII characters), if one goes to https://www.rfc-editor.org/search/rfc_search_detail.php for this RFC and clicks on "PDF" one gets a PDF rendering that is substantially identical to the text version, i.e., the non-ASCII characters do not appear. "PDF with images" works, but that is not what the specification says.
And, while I'm whining, the use of the term "draft" in that sentence is inappropriate and should have been caught during editing.

Section 3.4 says:
1. Temperature changes in the Temperature Control Protocol are
indicated by the U+2206 character ("Δ").
It should say:
1. Temperature changes in the Temperature Control Protocol are
indicated by the U+2206 character ("∆").
Notes:
This applies to the PDF version only (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7997.pdf); the issue is repeated in the following lines.
The character on display is 'GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA' (U+0394), not 'INCREMENT' (U+2206).

This was marked "Held For Document Update" per discussion with the Temporary RFC Series Project Manager (John Levine).
