.澳門 is the IDN ccTLD for Macau. It is managed by the Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau (CTT).[1]

澳門 is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as “xn--mix891f”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+6FB3 U+9580.

In Chinese, the string has a transliteration equivalent to “Macao” in English. The string is expressed using the Traditional Chinese script.[2]

Delegation History[edit | edit source]

The Bureau of Telecommunications Regulation (DSRT) has been the sponsoring organization of the .mo ccTLD since 2012, while HNET Asia Ltd. (MONIC) is the operating entity.

In April 2013, an application was made to the “IDN Fast Track” process to have the string “澳門” recognized as representing Macau.

On March 10, 2015, ICANN announced that the proposed IDN ccTLD string for Macau successfully passed the string evaluation.

On July 22, 2015, MONIC commenced a request to ICANN for delegation of .澳門 as a top-level domain representing Macao,[2] which was granted.[1]
