ICANN approves non-Latin domain names
DNs will allow domain names to be to be written in native character sets, such as Chinese, Arabic, and Greek. Initially, the change will apply only to local country codes, such as .kr for Korea and .ru for Russia.
Major top level domains (TLDs) such as .com, .net., and .org won't see non-Latin editions just yet. But ICANN is pushing to make progress on these major TLDs and hopes to include them in the IDN system before long. |
