Homoglyphs are an interesting topic - it brings the question of consistent treatment of similar characters in all cross-script similarities. On the face of it it looks to me like the Armenian letter VO is similar enough to Cyrillic PE to be declared as cross-script variant. Especially if the Cyrillic group and the Latin group decides that Cyrillic PE and Latin "n" are variants. I think the Armenian-Cyrillic pair should have the same outcome as Cyrillic-Latin pair. The group may consider making a comment on this. Best regards, Vladimir On Wed, Sep 2, 2015 at 7:05 AM, Sarmad Hussain <sarmad.hussain@icann.org> wrote:
Dear Cyrillic GP Team members,
You may be aware that Armenian GP has completed its work and has released the final proposal for Root Zone LGR for the Armenian script. The proposal and its documentation is available for public comments at https://www.icann.org/public-comments/proposal-armenian-lgr-2015-07-22-en as a final step before its evaluation by IP and eventual integration into the Root Zone LGR.
In their proposal documentation they discuss homoglyph relations between Armenian and Cyrillic scripts, listing the following:
=======
հ U+0570 Armenian small letter HO Һ U+04BB Cyrillic small letter SHHA
օ U+0585 Armenian small letter OH о U+043E Cyrillic small letter O
Note: ‘ո’ U+0578 Armenian small letter VO and ‘п’ U+43F Cyrillic small letter PE are usually somewhat distinct, unless both are in italic serif style, like ‘п’ vs. ‘n’, where they would be homoglyphs. However, they are not included into cross-script variants because italic font styles are insufficient justification for creating a cross-script variant, especially as that is not the most common style for presenting domain names to the user.
======
We would request the Cyrillic GP to kindly look at the Armenian proposal documentation and submit a public comment either supporting their proposal or suggesting any changes/additions based on Cyrillic GP point of view. The deadline for public comments is 30 Sept. We look forward to the response by Cyrillic GP.
Best regards,
Sarmad
