Hi all,<br>
<br>
Thanks, Roberto for your inquiry about the situation in Armenia. We
hold a press conference lately, on the Day of using Armenian scripts
in Internet, and talk about the issue of period mark. <br>
<br>
The confusion is not about how many dots should be used, which is
the Armenian colon or period, but the fact that the dot in the
Armenian script in Unicode is different from that of the dot in the
Latin script. So that when someone puts the name of the domain name
and then needs to add ․հայ (TLD extension), if this dot is written
in Armenian script (this non-standard dot is a default dot in
Armenian keyboard), it's considered by servers to be an unknown
symbol and the domain name doesn't resolve and show the exact
address. This means, that the user should change the keyboard to the
Latin, put the dot, then change the keyboard again to write in
Armenian. And the confusion is that NOT everyone knows about that
problem, which doesn't support the popularization of our IDN TLD.<br>
<br>
So, to your question about how big is the impact, I'd say it's very
big. It's a tremendous problem for the end user and it's a serious
problem for the IDN TLD. <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Lianna<br>

Hi all
<div class="">Maybe it could be interesting to hear if Lianna has
something to add to it?
<div class="">I am curious to understand how much big is the
impact of this fact in Armenia.</div>
