Non-Latin Internet scripts agreed
Published | 14.53, 30th of October 2009, by Paul Butler | Business
At their annual meeting in Seol the ICANN board announced that it is now allowing non-Latin scripts for Chinese and Arabic URLs. This is a massive change for the industry, described as the biggest change in 40 years. It will affect over half of the 1.6 billion Internet users who use non-Latin scripts. Some countries such as Thailand and China have had their own work around but this new move allows for global recognition and will be rolled out from the 16th November 2009. It is expected that Russian will follow soon after.
