--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- In 2012, CIRA introduced support for the full range of French characters in .CA domain names. https://www.cira.ca/en/ca-domains/register-your-ca/domains-french-accented-characters/ https://www.icann.org/en/icann-acronyms-and-terms?page=1&search=idn But people refrain using it, becaue many softwares do not accept them. For example, Firefox with DuckDuckGo search engine; if you enter "école.ca" in search bar, DuckDuckGo will not consider it is a valid URL and will treat is as a search phrase. If you enter "ecole,ca" as the search bar, DuckDuckGo will give it to Firefox to be interpreted as a URL. Sameway, if I enter "http://www.école.ca"; into LO writer, it will not recognize it as a valid URL and will not enter the URL in hyperlink attribute. To add confusion, it I enter "québec.ca" into Firefox address bar, it will be automatically replaced by "quebec.ca" (drop of the accent), What a mess! For all these reasons, people do not create domain names with accents but would like it. That's why I cannot provide an existing domain name with accented characters. Many probably exist but I don't know any. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
