Description

IDN is fun! And not just for boring things like modern languages. Build a domain name to stand the test of time...

Summary

I noticed that Verisign supports Egyptian hieroglyphs for the domains where they are the registry. As an experiment, I decided to see if these could actually be used. They can! Kind of.
