First IDN cctlds in the Root
Today marks the introduction of the first IDN cctlds in the DNS root.
The first three non-latin country code top level domains to go live in the root according to ICANN’s blog, are:
السعودية (“Al-Saudiah” – Saudi Arabia), امارات. ( “Emarat” – UAE) and مصر. (“Misr” – Egypt)

Congrats to the first three countries to go fully IDN, we’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for the ones to follow and, most importantly, we’ll be anxiously awaiting for the internationalization of the gtlds to signal the completion of the true multilingual internet.
