"Wikipedia" in Hebrew: xn--7dbcbqab9ewa.org
"Wikipedia" in Arabic: (I'm guessing) is xn--mgbbv2fyambbb.org (I took
this from the Main Page in Arabic; it's the text in quotes)
Are there plans to register these domains? What about Japanese, etc, etc?
Is Punycode even commonly used in the countries of those languages? I
know that in Israel it is common to see latinised domains
(http://www.shesh.co.il http://www.walla.co.il http://www.nana.co.il
etc) instead of domains in Unicode.
Internet Explorer does not appear to support Punycode.
