الجزائر. (al-Jazair) is the IDN ccTLD for Algeria in the Arabic script. It is managed by CERIST.[1]

The domain “الجزائر” is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as “xn--lgbbat1ad8j”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+0627 U+0644 U+062C U+0632 U+0627 U+0626 U+0631.

In Arabic language, the string has a meaning equivalent to “Algeria” in English. Its pronunciation in English is transliterated as “al-Jazair”. The string is expressed in Arabic script.[2]

Delegation History[edit | edit source]

On August 5, 2010, an application was made to the “IDN Fast Track” process to have the string “الجزائر” recognised as representing Algeria.

On October 23, 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that “the applied-for strings ... present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS identified in [the IDN Fast Track implementation plan] ... and present an acceptably low risk of user confusion”. The request for the string to represent Algeria was subsequently approved.

On December 9, 2011, Centre de Recherche sur l’Information Scientifique et Technique (CERIST), the manager of the .dz top-level domain, submitted an application to ICANN for the delegation of “الجزائر” as a TLD, which was granted.[2]
