Have there been any problems with apostrophe (U+2019) since IDNA2003 was deployed, or can you spell out a scenario where an apostrophe would cause a problem?<br><br clear="all">Mark<br>

There has been no uproar about<br>
the fact that IDNA2008 disables many, many names in English (especially<br>
Irish), French, Italian, and others. For example, all of the following are<br>
currently allowed in IDNA, but would be disallowed under IDNA2008.<br>

FWIW, allowing anything that looks like (yes, I use that non-specific phrase very intentional) a character that is dangerous in scripting is and was when IDNA2003 was created a very very very bad idea. I do not think many people see the difference between ’ and ', and allowing such characters and %, !, $, * etc is something I would say is a bad idea. Very bad idea. Not everyone can have "their name" as a domain name. Because domain names are domain names, and not words and names.<br>
<br>
That said, I see your point regarding already registered domain names. Same thing for domain names that include arrows, snowman etc.<br><font color="#888888">
