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
