[UA-discuss] Arabic script email being displayed as Chinese

[Ron Baione]

I noticed chinese characters in Wolfgang's email address on the internet policy isoc email list, amongst other email addresses which were all of a sudden showing chinese characters in random places in an email address of people not from china.  I just assumed the chinese government was hacking into the process somehow, is that an alternative explanation given the most recent U.S. Senate letter to ICANN citing 'new evidence' regarding systemic chinese influence throughout icann?  Will all characters on the internet be chinese characters eventually and is the transition to universal chinese characters happening at a pace too slow to be noticed?
