Dear All, Please find the test results tested by Mert Saka, our colleague in ICANN Istanbul office. He also asked me to extend his sincere thanks to everyone on Latin GP for enabling the Turkish IDNs.

I resulted testing on 4 different devices, but with only two browsers (Chrome and Firefox). More details about my testing environment (the device details) are below, hoping they help the team evaluate the results better: ICANN’s MacBook Pro on MacOS Mojave (10.14.6) Locale en_US: Only Chrome, no Firefox. Safari was not possible to test because it automatically forwards me to the default search engine for any unrecognized domain names (including base test case, “zil.test” and I couldn’t find how to turn it off). Personal MacBook Air on MacOS Mojave (10.14.6) Locale en_TR: Chrome and Firefox available but couldn’t test Safari (same reason above). Personal MSI GE73VR 8RF-210XTR Laptop on Windows 10 Locale tr; Türkçe : Chrome installed, no Firefox or Safari. Couldn’t test on Edge (same reason as Safari on MacOS above). ICANN’s iPhone on iOS (13.4.1): Chrome and Safari available. No other browsers. Here are some highlights from the test results: In general, results were consistent across devices for IDNA conversion on https://www.punycoder.com/. Even on mobile devices, it worked the consistently and delivered punycode for each word successfully. Chrome on all my computers worked well, except for its different display behavior for “zıl.test” and “ZİL.test”. You can see them below on the images I added inline but to summarize: “zıl.test” (DOTLESS LOWERCASE I) is displayed on the address bar as-is, but “ZIL.test” is displayed as punycode (xn--zil-9dc.test) on the address bar. Both are copy/pasted as punycode, so I see no odd browser behavior, but thought it would be something to take into consideration about consistency with display. Firefox on my personal MacBook has a problem with “ZİL.test” (with CAPITAL DOTTED I). “İ” turns into a LOWERCASE I WITH TWO DOTS ON TOP. I thought this was something weird, so Firefox seems to fail the browser behavior testing when using UPPERCASE I WITH DOT ON TOP. Safari on my company iPhone for “ZİL.test” (with CAPITAL I WITH DOT ON TOP) is displayed as-is (“ZİL.test”) on browser address bar but when copy/pasted on to the iPhone Notes app, it is displayed as a LOWERCASE I WITH TWO DOTS ON TOP. You can find the result attached as screenshot. I elaborate more on this in the below note about the testing methodology. A note about the testing methodology: When we “copy” text, we actually use another application (the Operating System, a.k.a. OS), which may have an impact on the test results. Taking a screenshot would be a better option because when copying, we do not know how OS stores it in memory (as punycode or ISO or UTF or else). When “pasting” on an application (in my case Outlook Mail or iOS Mail or iOS Notes app), results may not be consistent (examples below also point to this difference between copy/pasting and screenshots). You can see the result when I copy/pasted it onto the iOS Notes app on my iPhone in the attached screenshot. To get rid of copy/paste issues into Outlook Mail on my Mac, I also attached a UTF-8 coded plain-text TXT file (Test Results.txt), which can help to observe results as they actually appear on my devices.

The Latin GP is testing some behavior with the Turkish locale. I understand that ICANN laptop would have setting of US Locale (en_US).

We would need to determine the IDNA behavior in a conversion tool and the browser. To that effect, could you ask your colleague to try the below examples. (He/She needs to copy and paste the Input strings into the tool and URL address bars, and register the output string for each test). @Mats Dufberg Provided their machines are set up with Turkish locale, are we missing any other test case?

The result for case folding seems to be stable both up and down. The test result for en_US was done by me and it cannot produce original dotless I after a round-folding. I understand that this due to the absence of CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE in en-US locale. Kindly let us know if there is any further queries.

If I understand this correctly, when we test the IDNA behavior of the uppercase string in a Turkish setting we should see the behavior described in the second part.

That is my interpretation too. I will try to test some generic tool with Turkish locale (tr_TR.UTF-8) set.
