Why does it show up ❸.com?

 

[monRa]

ok, idin't get it's 3.com or a IDN domain i cannot see?

B3N,

Could you please clarify the domain name.

3.com
or
(3).com

Thank you very much.

 

[Ben]

It's ❸.com, eBay wouldn't let me put ❸ in the auction title.

How is (3).com a one character domain name?

Mmmmmm....

3.com or other 1 character domain names are reserved by ICANN...,

the name being auctioned off on ebay seems to be this one: xn--bfi.com

http://www.whois.sc/xn--bfi.com

how that has anything to do with the character 3 I do not know. Is it a url-decoded form of the picture image "3"...

So basically this is a total lie? As this is not a 1 character?

if you type ❸.com into your browser (I use firefox) it shows as ❸.com....

So the problem is whether other browsers and other languages support this since it seems you need to have a specific font set preinstalled on your pc.

I dunno. But this cannot be universally supported. Its a gimmick. It works in firefox but had somebody on my msn buddy list try it on the IE browser and it don't work.

What can I say? Strange.

It's not (3).com, it's ❸.com; highlight it to see it's just one character.

Doesn't work on my Firefox browser. This auction is either non-informative or misleading, IMHO. Maybe you should edit your listing to show both ways it can be input into a browser... the IDN version and the "real" way.

It's a one character "idn" domain. Need to correct this... I find it misleading or at least confusing myself.

Is it still classed as IDN when it's not international?
