This Character repertoire was derived from the following sources:
-

Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), extend the use the domain name space by allowing registrants to use spanish characters not available in the US-ASCII character set. System Administrators wishing to use IDN in their services should read the notes at the end of this document

U+002D # HYPHEN-MINUS
U+00E1 # LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
U+00E9 # LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
U+00ED # LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH ACUTE
U+00F3 # LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE
U+00FA # LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE
U+00FC # LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
U+00F1 # LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE

System Administrators, wishing to implement services using IDNs, should read this, in order to avoid confusion.

1. Internet Services:

Services should not necesarilly be aware of IDNs, they would use the ACE encoding instead. The real concern is at the client level, where user input takes place, there should be done some ACE encoding in order to translate the domain name into a compatible string.

For more information, please visit http://www.nic.ve/documentos/

2. Client Level:

Users wishing to use IDNs in their applications should be aware that the software needs to support this technology. If unsure, please contact the vendor or developer.
