Posted On Friday, July 11, 2008 at at 6:34 AM by Pat
It is now possible to book domain names in international languages. It means now, you can now book ????.com or ?????.com
They are called as IDN (International domain names)
What is IDN?
Internet users are increasing rapidly and it’s not necessary that all of them know English. So, IDN provides them with a facility to write domain names in their language. So, if you want to access Google.com you can write the same in your language. IDN is changing Internet into powerful International tool.
How IDN encoding is done?
For example, if you book ??????.com then .com remains unchanged since it is ASCII format. However, ?????? which is written in UNICODE so, it is essential to add xn-- as a prefix followed by it’s Unicode translation.
For Example : xn--31ba5fsc.com
