Re: [Comments-korean-lgr-25jan18] I support for using Korean alphabet and Chinese characters in Internet Domain
I have avoided any replies in this mailing list and preferred to write a formal letter, but this one is really absurd and has to be corrected right away.
Internert users in Republic of Korea are more familiar with Korean Alphabet (Hangeul) and Chinese characters (Hanja) than with English alphabet and Arabic numbers.
I guess you can argue for Hanja domains because of extant usages (which I don't buy, but at least it is a much better argument). But arguing for Hanja domains because... Hanja is more familiar than Arabic numbers? Are you serious? Arabic numbers are frequently used even in Chinese. (For non-Koreans who want to independently verify my rebuttal, I suggest you to try Google Street view, for example, around Seoul Station [1]. I swear, there should be a lot of Arabic numbers here and there.)
