Hi, although not pretending to be any technical expert, I'm an IDN user and may provide my user's understanding. IDNs in Applications (IDNA) is technical encoding system to enable universal acceptance of non-ASCII characters in DNS. ICANN has updated its IDNA guidelines a couple of times and both gTLDs and ccTLDs (including IDN ccTLDs) deploy IDNA.

Our IDN experts, Hong, Edmon et al.
Could someone please explain the issues using U+0027 as a 2LD or higher IDN in a CCTLD? U+0027 is a glottal stop, and is a character used by a number of Polynesian languages including for at least three of our RALO's.
Does IDNA2008 apply to CCTLD's or is it only GTLD's ?
I understand there are alternatives but how would these work with a standard keyboard?
I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Regards,
KT
