Egyptian hieroglyphs were once the cutting edge of written communication, and it turns out Verisign lets you register .com domains using them.
Internationalized domain names expert Andre Schapp discovered a couple months ago that the Unicode code points for the ancient script have been approved in 16 Verisign gTLDs, and apparently no others.
It seems .com has been approved for 237 IDN scripts, in total. Let it not be said that Verisign does not offer domainers ample opportunity to spunk their cash on gibberish...

BTW congrats to the technical guys as hieroglyphics can now be posted on the forum without having to upload a file!
Well done NP's and a big step towards acceptance of Glyphs in the domain name space.

Those are really nice ones, wot! We even convinced a few domainers to get some. Not ready for prime time yet but they are very cool.
I think now we need to show potential users how they would fit in to their strategies and come up with ideas how each Glyph may be used, the likes of gold,fish etc are obvious some of the others may need a little more thought.
How about the Chariot glyph as taxi company symbol - "Your Chariot awaits ---" perhaps? :xf.smile:
