Didn't know it was bloody possible to get apostrophe's into domains!!

Because it isn't. It's a Hawaiian letter (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CA%BB) so these names are mixed script.

Sheesh!!! Are they more popular than the "Cherokee" Indian script IDNs? :lol:

About as popular I guess. But then again they are premium as the thread title states.

I was going to disagree, but after some research, I decided you are correct.

According to Wikipedia, the Hawaiian alphabet consists of:
Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu, Āā, Ēē, Īī, Ōō, Ūū, Hh, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Pp, Ww, and ʻ (turned comma, or okina).

So for instance, shariʻa is mixed script, because it includes ʻ (okina), which is Hawaiian, and "s", which is not. Likewise, the other domains offered for sale contain non-Hawaiian letters.

On a tangent: I once tried to figure out what character the Latin version of the Uzbek language would use in place of the apostrophe if it wanted to be Unicode compliant, but the authorities were silent on the subject.

[bumblebee man]

To be honest I didn't research quite as far. Anyway you must be knowing what you are doing when creating names like that. That's what always puzzles me:

1) You find out about IDN.
2) Then you spend all your time and money for registering look-alike names intended to scam other people.

That's beyond me.

if there was no money in it, they wouldn't be doing it.
Just look at sedo and other sales of phishing domains.

Yes. Important to note that it is a letter rather than a punctuation mark.

Some of the other polynesian languages also use the glottal stop (Fijian and Samoan IIRC) and they were always trying to decide what letter-like shape they would use for it instead of people using an apostrophe, which screwed up early spell checks etc.

Very important letter in Hawaiʻi.

[Avtal]

Very important letter in Hawaiʻi.

But sad to say, even Hawaiian government websites (portal.ehawaii.gov, for instance) use apostrophes or single quotes instead of okinas. Only Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii) gets it right.

The most notable thing about sales on this forum are there really are very few.

Yes, a few people testing the water. Yes, and quite a few people peddling junk, often Newbies.

There are motivated sellers, but they are rarely motivated for the prices buyers want. Motivated buyers are a rare phenomenon.

This week has been a bad week, Ramadan and Summer Vacations and the like. If it went on like this for a year or two, would I become a motivated seller? No, I would do what I have done before and simply drop weaker domains. It just does not make sense to sell the cream to renew the curd.

[bumblebee man]

Just look at sedo and other sales of phishing domains.

Sure looks like it. But still I don't quite get why scamming seems to be the first thought for many when they discover IDN. What was the first thought when fire was discovered? "Wow, now I can burn down my neighbour's house..."? Not unlikely but still somewhat disturbing. :no:

They probably discovered phishing domains first at Sedo, etc and then later found out that they were IDNs. So, in your example, it's like you see a house in flame, get shocked and learn later that fire was used to burn the house.

I didn't do it.


Could you please provide some evidence which proves that letters like ô, c, s, d, r, or x are used in Hawaiian language. Thanks

[elisabethindrianyutomo]

Hawaiʻi is the most recent of the 50 U.S. states (joined the Union on
August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands.
population : 1,374,810 (2011).

Although in English the state is named Hawaii, residents of the island
chain universally prefer the native spelling Hawaiʻi.
Hawaiʻi is also the name of one of the islands that make up the state.

If it looks like an ASCII name, but is in fact an IDN name, then it is phishing. If it involves characters that aren't natively used alongside the other characters in the name, then it is mixed script. On that basis, I think your names fail on both counts.

The only thing you have proven is that you're either

a) a complete idiot

or

b) thinking we're complete idiots.

In case of a) here's a little hint: click on the whois and you'll see that they are not actually taken by anyone.

Agree with Jay. The letter of the law doesn't apply here. But the sniff test does.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like one, it's a ya1

[Drewbert]

We have to be careful here, defining what exactly is a phishing domain.

They could only be considered phishing domains if it was possible to have a "normal" apostrophe in a domain name, which you can't.

Also, if these are considered phishing domains, then the same could be said for farsi equivalents of arabic IDN's since they look the same.

They are mixed script domains, but in a way that get's around a shortcoming in the DNS (inability to use ' in a domain).

[Wot]

Any Hawaiʻians here?

[Jay]

They could only be considered phishing domains if it was possible to have a "normal" apostrophe in a domain name, which you can't.

Okay, it doesn't mimic any existing ASCII domains, because as you say there's no basis for a "normal" apostrophe in ASCII registrations. But I would argue that because it appears like a normal apostrophe, and mimics the ASCII keyboard in doing so, then it is phishing as more broadly defined.

Can we also assume that all domain buyers know that apostrophes aren't possible? Would they know that in purchasing one of these domains, that a Latin user wouldn't be able to type the apostrophe using the "normal" characters on their keyboard?

The point is, the words have no other purpose than to represent Latin terms, which include a non-Latin character that mimics a Latin apostrophe.

The prosecution rests.

Exactly. This is a very simple case. What is the purpose of a character that looks like an apostroph, is used to represent an apostroph but isn't an apostroph?

Whether or not there is a shortcoming in the DNS isn't relevant here. If there was an invisible character making domain[invisibleCharacter]name.com appear like domain name.com would that be

1) welcome because there is a shortcoming (no space) in the DNS
2) scammer's paradise

?

[Drewbert]

Sorry, but I stand firm. You can't phish a domain that cannot exist.

What is the purpose of a character that looks like an apostroph, is used to represent an apostroph but isn't an apostroph?

It attempts to resolve a shortcoming in the DNS.

You never know, the French might see this and decide it's a good idea to be able to use an apostrophe in a domain name (to allow a complete version of the French language in DNS) and decide to adopt ʻ as a replacement for ' in the French language.
