All, This isn't strictly about DNS in the RIPE region, and is perhaps 4000 years out of date, but I don't really know where to ask.
I noticed that VeriSign supports IDN registration using Egyption hieroglyphs: https://www.verisign.com/assets/idn/idn-egyptian-hieroglyphs.html However, their own web site doesn't seem to allow me to register a name using that character set, calling it "temporarily unavailable". I tried a few registrars but I get things like "ð“ŽŸð“€€ contains invalid characters" or the like, some say things like "ÓŽß°Ó€.com is not available" (clearly their character handling needs some tweaking, since they're munging my requested domain name). Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google seemed to help me find a list of which registrars support which languages or character sets. Does anyone have any tips, or do I need to start my own registrar? I'm also happy to use another TLD, but the Egyptian ccTLD seems more concerned with Arabic than hieroglyphs. Cheers, -- Shane
