Anybody know of any companies that are using scripts other than English for their URL's?

I know Burberry.com is using バーバリー.com to forward to their main English langauge site...

Any others that you know of?

To dig up URLs on this you put XN or local language characters into the Advanced search on Yahoo and search Only on the URL. Choose the language and/or country you are interested. There are huge lists for China and Korea.

No Microsoft and IBM are not using them yet, but in local markets, it really is only a matter of time.

List for Arabic:

A little company called Yahoo owns this one.

A company called Microsoft owns this one although this one isn't live yet.

Interesting that they both own 'messenger' albeit in different extensions.

Interestingly enough the Microsoft one was regged in Sept 2004. They have either bought this in the secondary market or this has been planned for a long time. What else do they have I wonder?

If microsoft does own this .com, the new ie7-jp will be .com friendly.
