[UA-discuss] Armenia

[Dusan Stojicevic]

Dear all,

During Barcelona meeting, I reported this issue. This is not the issue only
in Armenia. There's similar dot issue in Arabic script (Sarmad, correct me
if I'm wrong), at least that's what I understand during our workshop.

Also, issue with the same nature is @ - not existing on all Cyrillic
keyboards. Users are doing the same - change to Latin, type @ and then
switch back to Cyrillic keyboard.

Both issues I find crucial to solve, and I alerted Mark to get deeper into
it. From my point of view, these issues directly decrease the usage of IDN.

Regards,
Dusan
