Internationalized domains
ICANN assigned two Internationalized country code top-level domains (IDN ccTLDs) for Taiwan on 25 June 2010:[3]
- 台灣 : taiwan in traditional Chinese characters (DNS name: xn--kpry57d)
- 台湾 : taiwan in simplified Chinese characters (DNS name: xn--kprw13d)
Presently in November 2019, and since at least November 2015,[4] the simplified suffix is a DNAME alias for the traditional suffix. As a result any subdomain of the traditional xn--kpry57d TLD automatically has a CNAME alias from the simplified xn--kprw13d TLD. The traditional suffix is in active use.
