They started registering IDN domains only two days ago, but that's about all I know. The charset they allow is published:
'á', 'à', 'é', 'è', 'í', 'ì', 'ó', 'ò', 'ú', 'ü', 'ñ', 'Ç' and 'l·l'
but I don't know if there is danger in them or not, nor what is the policy.
This looks nuts! Many of us have no convenient (or any) access to characters like this. I can do some of them in a word-proceesor, but certainly not in e-mail or Google, etc. Whose dumb idea was this, anyway?
But I can, and so can all or most of my compatriots. Remember I was talking about the .es top domain name. See: áéíóúàèìòùâêîôûäëïöüñÁÉÍÓÚÀÈÌÒÙÄËÏÖÜÂÊÎÔÛçÇñÑ and more: ćǵḱĺḿńṕŕśẃź However, you /do/ have access to them in Linux. Hint: compose key. Try hitting: [compose][c][,] --> yields "ç" What, you do not have the compose key? But you do, although you don't see it. :-P It is hidden as a combinations of keys. In mine, it is [shift], release, [shift][ctrl] It is configurable in .Xmodmap. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
