IDN Talk

Yahoo’s site explorer since about March had a bug where you couldn’t explore sites developped with IDN domains nor could you even add them to your site list. The intial workaround was just to include your site with punycode instead of using the native unicode characters.

Since the reason update the way to input an IDN domain is just simply to put the domain in it’s native characters
for example
アニメ.com

Now you can just write your domains in Russian, Chinese, German, Japanese, Korean or whatever. Existing domains in punycode are ok but with this addition I found it doesn’t accept new sites punycode well anymore.

Who needs punycode anyway, I’ll be glad when all programs make Native language seemless with new applications.
