information Egyptian Hieroglyphs

[wot]

Unlike Emoji Egyptian Hieroglyphs are actually a recognized language and it was recently discovered that "Glyphs" can be registered in .com and a few people have taken advantage and registered some very interesting domains. Unlike most languages there are not that many "Glyphs" available so making the niche even more interesting.

Here are just a few examples of what can be registered in .com

Here is a very recent comment on a Egyptian Hieroglyphic domain name related website from an Egyptian government source.

"Ministry of Communications and Information Technology @mcit.gov.eg

“It is a good idea to have hieroglyphic symbols to access our Egyptian “specially historic websites” online content , so we should consider the Universal Acceptance for these symbols.”

Example:

Arrow

.com
xn--pc8d.com (Type or copy and paste for more info)

Interesting times!

Most of the forum systems are antiquated and unlike many browsers,emails etc you cannot post Glyphs, they will catch up eventually.

Tell me about it!
It's a shame they don't resolve as they're beautiful to look at & have so much meaning & history

Ironic that domains can't be posted on domain forums and some blogs.

My first sale of a Glyph, maybe the first ever?

And appropriately to an Egyptian!

Sorry, no price as agreed with buyer but suffice to say my initial outlay is more than covered and already well in to profit.

How interesting that it should go to an Egyptian! There is also the owl without the branch that's also a hieroglyph!

Looks like a few more people have recognised the potential of Glyphs, a lot snapped up over the past few days.

Thank you for letting us know about Noto, Carob!

Which registrars support these?

They need to do not just IDNs but this script as well - Namecheap do IDNs but not these.
