What you are probably looking for was taken in 2007 in .com, also .net
sex©.com
xn--sex-1ea.com Taken - whois website
sex©.net
xn--sex-1ea.net Taken - whois website

But for crying out loud...why not register some "dictionary" words in various languages. That is the BIG opportunity here.

Frankly, I don't think sex© will get any traffic, they are at best vanity domains. And beside, who beside a very small minority of nerds even knows how to 'type in' the © without cutting and pasting. :p

In arriving here at IDNF, you have stumbled onto the greatest opportunity of your lifetime with IDNs...don't blow it registering garbage.
Take a look at the auctions, post up to buy some lists, grab some free resources at idntools.com and get busy. :)

With spelling like that, I would definitely avoid Enlgish.

its just a example

My domain i try to register is keyword + © .com
what language should i pick?

Pretty sure you can't register symbol domains anymore.

check this tall©.com (xn--tall-8fa.com)

So you haven't actually tried to register it? Just checked availability?

Just pick the language of 'keyword', or the next closest like Spanish or French. But was under the same impression as Clotho - that you could not register new symbol domains.

Because nobody will be able to type it, and even if they could the browser will not be able to resolve it through the DNS.

You can still register Keyword+©, i have a few myself. The majority here are registering keywords in different languages, but what you have to realize people is that everything is about to change. Its been 15 years and we are pretty much using the same technology to surf the net as we did a decade ago. With the coming of IDNs, internet is taking a huge step into the future of hi-tech. Browsers are going to change, software that we use today is going to change to adapt with the future market. Possibility of typing in International scripts and symbols with a click of a mouse will be here. Possibility of scrolling to your .com, .net, .cn, .me......... extensions instead of typing them in like we do right now is there as well. There is a lot of room for upgrades in the browser world. People, this is year 2010. We are going to have space trips available to the regular public in less then 2 years. Get out of the box and think outside of it.

Go ahead and do register the symbols and what ever else you feel like registering, because tomorrow is another day. ;)

oww, and I have to add those domain forwarders do look tempting... Why do i need to get a million dollar english 1 letter .com to represent my image on the internet? I can get and equally nice 1 letter IDN domain in a language less widely used (ex. Tibetian or symbols)advertise my website under what ever domain name i am already using and forward it to the IDN. I am sure it will be all much easier to understand when all the browsers become more stable with IDNs. and it wont cost me 10 million to get a 1 letter domain name for my image.

I think you're wasting your breath (again) RD.

I watch dozens of English word + symbol drop every week, as all the broken dreams of new IDNers whose imagination into the potential of IDN can stretch no further than take an English word and stick a symbol on the end no one can type and hope for the best.

You and I will be saying this to every newcomer that turns up here, and every day I will keep watching them drop 12mos later.

There are two google results for this term and both links are to this forum. The only thing that domain is good for is ebay.

I really don't expect the majority to agree with me on this right now. I understand that its difficult to see something that doesn't exist at the moment. I think you guys missed the .com boom back in the 90's because you were thinking the same way as you are now.

As you said, you can always sell them on ebay.

Still waiting for you to pull out your "premium" Russian generics.

If you think filling a bunch of beginners heads with your BS speeches are going to fly here then think again. Those types of domains are the reason people are screaming "PHISHING" in the first place. It's not going to get you respect here.

Actually many people on here are the ones that hit the nail on the head and registered those Ascii domains in the 90's.

But you sure type a lot for not really saying anything at all. :yes:

hey, I am not here to argue with you about this. I am simply stating my opinion. If you don't like the name, don't register it but don't tell people its garbage just because you think so. Only time will tell.
I respect myself and that's the only respect that matters for me. I never asked for an opinion of the herd. :eek:

I agree that you don't make money by following the herd.

But you can lose money if you don't follow the technical specs. For instance:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idnabis-tables-08 has a table showing which unicode characters will be allowed in the future in IDNs. If I'm reading it correctly, the characters $ ® © are among those that will be disallowed.

Avtal,

Good document, but i am sure we will see a lot of changes to it as IDN progresses. whats disallowed or unassigned this year may be available 5 years from now as internet grows. The only way to engrave these rules in stone is to block the domains from being registered. As of right now i am still able to register the domains with certain symbols and i do get traffic on these domains. I am not saying we all should go crazy and start registering keywords+symbols but do register some for your portfolio after all what are you really loosing here $7 a year? I am sure you will gain it back from elsewhere.

Avtal

DktoInc,

I don't want to discourage you from your chosen path, but I want to make sure you factor all relevant information into your risk/reward calculations.

So I'll highlight one more risk (already mentioned by Rubber Duck): The surest way to enforce these rules would be to modify the DNS system, so that names that violate the rules don't resolve. This would be more far-reaching than blocking registration, because it would immediately affect all non-conforming names, including ones that had already been registered. How likely is this to happen? I don't know.

IMHO, When they disallow $ ® © characters, the domainswhichhasallready registerd with those symbelsbecome rare. Rare = Money

Think about 2 Letter Domains, In most of the TLD's they are disallwed. But the domains which has allready registerd will sell for XXXX ammount.

Honestly are you 3 years old? You can't write or spell, but more importantly, you don't appear able to think ..... 2-letter domains are valuable because they resolve. They are useful. You can build a website with them and advertise it offline and online. You can add email and other services., You can build a URL-forwarding service. Wtf can you do with a IDN that isn't part of IDNA2008? -nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the last time, stop comparing symbol domains with 2-letter domains - it makes you look like a complete ass.

no problem, it's nice to feel appreciated. I'm sorry it was so quiet the first time you showed up, you see the first IDN compatible browser from Microsoft had just been released after a long 5 year wait, and most of us were busy filling our boots registering domains. It's only now when mainly only low grade crap and symbols are left that we can afford the time to socialise and chat every day.

my point was that the number of people queuing up to buy has no relation to how useful they might end up being.

If you or anyone else wants to spend a ton of money on symbols, then go ahead, there are millions of combination's out there to reg. I really don't care how you spend you money.

What people are trying to say here, is that it does seem somewhat short sighted with 293 different langauges opened up by IDN.. all that opportunity, and you get caught up on taking an English word and slipping in a symbol to make it look cool.
