Variants of TLD strings are possible within certain character sets such as Arabic or Han. The ICANN Board, in the interests of the stability of the DNS, has issued guidance regarding how and when variant strings will be accepted.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/idn-variant-tld-implementation-2018-07-26-en ICANN.org - Variant TLD Implementation], July 26, 1028</ref>

De-selection of IDN strings would, in theory, occur in similar circumstances as retirement of ASCII two-letter ccTLDs; either because of removal of a specific country code from the [[ISO-3166|ISO 3166-1]] list, or alterations to a country code not currently on the ISO-3166-1 list (i.e. an exceptionally reserved code such as UK).<ref name="charter" />
