Section Appendix B says:
This non-normative example demonstrates using SmtpUTF8Mailbox as an
otherName in GeneralName to encode the email address
"u+8001u+5E2B@example.com".
The hexadecimal DER encoding of the email address is:
A022060A 2B060105 05070012 0809A014 0C12E880 81E5B8AB 40657861
6D706C65 2E636F6D
The text decoding is:
0 34: [0] {
2 10: OBJECT IDENTIFIER '1 3 6 1 5 5 7 0 18 8 9'
14 20: [0] {
16 18: UTF8String '..@example.com'
: }
: }
Figure 2
The example was encoded on the OSS Nokalva ASN.1 Playground and the
above text decoding is an output of Peter Gutmann's "dumpasn1"
program.
It should say:

otherName in GeneralName to encode the email address
"u+533Bu+751F@u+5927u+5B66.example.com".

40c3a5c2 a4c2a7c3 a5c2adc2 a62e6578 616d706c 652e636f 6d
The text decoding is:

Notes:
The OID used in Appendix B does not match the OID for id-on-SmtpUTF8Mailbox defined in "Appendix A. ASN.1 Module" and is not mentioned anywhere in the RFC.
Paul Wouters (AD): Note that it seems different versions of the dumpasn1 tool seem to handle non-ASCII characters in the output differently, so the tool output can slightly vary from the Reporter's corrected output. The OID correction has been verified by my and Russ Housley
