Internationalized Country Codes Top-Level Domain Names (IDN ccTLDs) and Historical Perspective.





What are IDN - ccTLDs?
 


The basic concepts of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) are that they are typical domain names made easy for the native people to be able to communicate via internet, it includes such characters and letters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic and Chinese languages; it has letters that includes signs and characters that are not available on QWERTY keyboards; ASCII characters are those found on QWERTY keyboard, such as letters A to Z and digits 0 to 9. But IDN characters are written with signs and unusual letters and strange digits.

IDN has set down rules that people of the same community could type their native language for communication and to formally represent, create, use and to manage data assessment on internet within their community or with those who understand the same native language, wherever they are, around the globe.

Do IDN ccTLDs Liquid able?

There are several investors who can boast of keeping IDN ccTLDs in their portfolio or sales, because very few of them are valuable to people outside the native language and therefore, care should be taken for anyone who wishes to invest on it. They can seldom be liquidate and not advisable to invest on it in our opinion.

The IDN has its typical version of domain names and extensions; especially for country codes. Having said that and for proper understanding of country codes in IDN ccTLDs format, please have a look on the below table
