On AfterNic they are listing IDNs
Unfortunately as of now they only have pages & pages of General listing & are lumping everything together.

For users who don't know what IDN domain names are only thing they are seeing initially are one character IDNs like #.com or ∫.com
These are all short but how many people in the world can actually pronounce them?

What I suggest is suggesting a category structure to AfteNic.

This way visually it spurs interest in the IDN market, because just seeing .com & ∑.com for several pages would make the average potential interested buyer leave.

So I suggest
1. One character symbols or something like that for those obscure symbols
2. Languages
Arabic
Chinese
French
Hindi
Korean
Russian
Spanish


Then afterwards for the languages we can suggest 1 character, 2 character etc.

I truly think it's that first page that hinders buyers from looking into buying IDNs

Yes, I agree the existing set up at afternic is a disaster. In fact I have dropped my subscription as additionally the prices domain fetch at Afternic are comparatively low and the PPC programme is very poor.
