Re: the question above:
Dear Laurie,
Since you purchased your domains, there have been changes implemented
that prevent the mixing of code points. Thus, you can no longer have NEW
registrations that mix symbols with ASCII characters, which is the
category that your registrations fall into.
Please note that these changes do not affect your ability to renew your
domains. Any domain that you had previously registered can be renewed
through your Registrar.
Best Regards,
Bryant, Bonnie
