'''Universal Access''' refers to the concept that [[top level domain|top-level domain]] names are accessible globally through any internet browser, server, email client, and computer program. When original domain names were implemented in the [[Domain Name System]] of the [[Internet]], such as [[.com]], [[.edu]], [[.gov]], [[.mil]], [[.org]], [[.net]], and [[.arpa]], non-Latin alphabet language communities were limited to easily access the Internet. Domain names at this time were exclusively expressed in languages based on US- ASCII specific script. The demand for universal access became imminent amidst the creating of [[IDN|IDNs]].
