.新加坡
.新加坡 is one of the IDN ccTLDs for Singapore, the other one being .சிங்கப்பூர். It is managed by the Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC) Pte Ltd. [1]
The string “新加坡” is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as “xn--yfro4i67o”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+65B0 U+52A0 U+5761. The string is expressed in Chinese script, and in Chinese language, has the meaning and pronunciation of "Singapore".[2]
Delegation History[edit | edit source]
On 31 March 2010, an application was made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have the strings recognised as representing Singapore. On 4 June 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for strings associated with the applications from [Singapore] (a) present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS ... and (b) present an acceptable low risk of user confusion". The request for the strings to represent Singapore were subsequently approved.
On 28 September 2010, Singapore Network Information Centre Pte Ltd commenced a request to ICANN for delegation of both ".新加坡" and ".சிங்கப்பூர்" as top-level domains, which were granted.[2]
