.台灣 is one of the IDN ccTLDs for Taiwan, the other being ".台湾". It is managed by the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC).[1]

The string "台灣" is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the 2003 IDNA specification as “xn--kpry57d”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+53F0 U+7063. The string is expressed in Chinese script, using traditional characters.

In Chinese language, the string has a meaning and pronunciation equivalent to "Taiwan" in English.[2]

Delegation History[edit | edit source]

An application was made for the strings "台灣" and "台湾" , plus a number of variants, to the IDN Fast Track string selection process.

On 6 January 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for strings (a) present none of the threats to the stability and security of the DNS ... but (b) are all variants of each other which, if separately delegated, would present an unacceptably high risk of user confusion." On 22 March 2010, ICANN announced a "Proposed Implementation Plan for Synchronised IDN ccTLDs", which would provide for a new concept of "synchronised IDN ccTLDs" that would allow for delegation of multiple labels that are "considered equivalent"

On 24 May 2010, Taiwan Network Information Center presented an application to ICANN for delegation of "台灣" and "台湾" as top-level domains, which was granted.[2]

Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]

There are no specific restrictions to register under .台灣.[3]

Characters[edit | edit source]

All domain names shall include at least 1 characters, and the maximum number of characters shall not exceed 63 characters. IDNs after punycode conversion shall not exceed 63 characters.

The following characters are acceptable:

  • alphabetical characters in either upper or lower cases, numerical characters of (0-9) and connection symbol(-). The connection symbol (-) shall not exist at the first position or the last position, nor shall it exist continuously;
