Lol! Apple should get cmd-shift-k .com

while looking fun, however, it is hard to key-in the URL, so these URL are not so useful for increasing your traffic.

oddly, your blog had several characters that google reader could not render properly. mainly the swastik and the ying yang

Renders fine for me, FF3 + google reader.

Hmm, it rendered fine on my Google Reader. Make sure the encoding is Unicode.

How about mine?

Too bad nameprep will kill these very soon.

I love symbol IDNs and have collect some of them -

®.net
©.net
€.net
₡.com
₢.com
₤.net
₦.com
₭.com
₥.net
₮.com
₯.com
₩.ws

I had a friend who once registered http://xn--n3h.com/, which translates to ☃.com. He's developed an infatuation with the symbol, and I can't say I blame him.

Hi:

It's interesting to find a site like this. I've been singing the IDNS song for eight years now trying to get people to believe that these are actual and legal domains.

PUNYCODE was never intended for the end-user to see, but there are browser developers who think that protecting end-users from homographic deception is more important than allowing the 97 percent of the worlds population seeing domain names in their own respective language. But, I digress.

I own a few symbol domains and have been trying to sell them, without much success, but I have hopes. Here's some of mine: http://symboldomains.com.

Some comments to fellow posters:

To Jose – nameprep was developed in 2003 to aid in allowing symbol domain names to be seen not killed. But if you think different, how about selling me your domain for $20.00 ? :-)

To Andy Wong – for Mac users some of these key are very easy to key-in. Take for example option v, if a Mac user types in option v (that's a square root symbol) they will go to one of my domains. This is a web page that receives over unique 90 visitors a day – and that figure is growing. You can read about it there.

To James Xuan – I originally registered the cmd-shift-k domain (that's the apple logo), but it became one of those restricted characters and I was not able to keep the domain.

If any of you are interested in selling your domain, contact me privately. While I don't have the money I think these domains are worth, I have an idea of how we could sell them.

Good to see interest in symbol domain names.

Cheers,

tedd
