most of them, younger people even less, yes they will use "ã" and they will use
"ç" but probably they will never use "á" or "à" or "ô" or "ó", etc, unless they are taking a poortuguese test or something, and i doubt that they will type it in on the browsers bar.
im not saying these domains are trash, i guess they are brandables and if some big company wants one they could go for the "proper" version, i just think they
will not reach full value with the current typing habits and keyboard display.
Yes, I agree.

But I bet a credit card company investors would prefer to see their money invested on cartãodecrédito.com instead of cartaodecredito.com.

Isn't the unacented version a typo?

And Google already knows that and sends the corrected versions on your unacented searches. Only the type-ins are lost.
