Default beware of mistypes...

all right, maybe some of you know this well, but some (like me before) might not be aware of this.

which one will you buy:

cпpaвoчник xn--cpao-i4d1bown8f
cпpавoчник xn--cpo-7cdk1bown8f
cпpавочник xn--cp-8kci4amthf8f
спpавочник xn--p-8sbgykqger9d
etc... mny other variations...

bad news - none of them is real!

this is real:
справочник xn--80aesinfeih9d

what's the difference? in the first several examples the cyrillic letters were changed by the latin ones that look exactly the same.

beware if someone tried to sell you something like this - check by yourself by re-typing the whole word in cyrillic. OR be sure you are doing this when register from someone else's lists because it could be just a mistake - like i just did.

hope it would be useful for someone.

getting into idn field - want to make sure, i'll know all the little things. again: i still see so many available russian idn domains - now try to make sure i switched my keyboard language before typing anything. )

feel free to post my info on other related forums. i've only posted it at: idnforums.com. thanks.
