Sigma Σ: A universally used Greek alphabet character

Probably the only single character language IDN that has three inputs
Σ.com (upper case)
σ.com (lower case)
ς.com (lowercase in word-final position)

[ punycode: xn--4xa.com ]

definition from Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma

I think Kwok is head on with the appraisal. The most I have ever seen an IDN character like this sell for is $100.00. But success is not a guaranteed thing. Nor is failure with the popularity of IDN gaining. It's a crap shoot when it come to IDN's.

There have been larger IDN sales. Also, this is not the only single character language IDN that has three inputs. Far from it.

I recieved a couple of offers on this in the past , but none like the most recent one which is the reason I am asking for an appraisal here.

Thank goodness he cant see this thread, otherwise his offer would be retracted based on your and kwok's "head on" appraisal. :)

Also, this is not the only single character language IDN that has three inputs. Far from it.

Could you please list some, Im curious to know.

If you've been offered considerably more, then consider taking it.

Other than the Chinese and Japanese characters, the IDN market is very unsettled.

As for three character, the sequencing begins with xn--aaa.com, then xn---aab, aac, and so on. When the run the complet alphabet, the numbers are inserted.

Here's one of mine: XN--CPA.COM

I have several as more or less a novelty item but being an illustrator in a previous carreer, I hope to use them and incorporate them, eventually, into some online projects.

mid $xxx to a reseller. Mid $x,xxx - lower $xx,xxx to an end user. Not bad at all.

I dont understand what you are saying here. Are they (single IDNs) the same xn -- typed in 3 different ways? like σ.com

It's really rather simple. Currently IDN is based on Punycode, as you pointed out. A character is assigned a sequence of numbers and letters to be entered and recoginized universally. It is 'coded'.

Just as no two domain .com's are alike, no two punycodes are alike.

XN--4XA.COM
XN--CPA.COM

Top is your IDN, bottom is mine. No two domains can be alike. No two IDN's are coded alike.

That I know..
which is why im saying that Σ.com has three (3) different inputs (σ,ς,Σ) which correpsond to the same exact punycode. I have not seen any other one like that.

What ctc means is, that the same letter - in Greek - has 3 different formats; all of which are represented by the same punycode:

Lower case sigma "σ"
Upper case sigma "Σ"
Lower case sigma when at end of a word "ς"

Gotcha. You speak english good. I no heered it or red eet proper.

Acroplex needs to quit letting his cat type. Got funky stuff on the keyboard.

Yes, there are others like that. I do not have any specific examples of my own but there are additional Greek and non-Greek characters that have the same attributes.

When I was registering or looking to register some, when I would enter the character as it appeared or the punycode, the image showing did not appear to be the same as the image as I intended.

Delta "Δ.com" appears "δ.com" when entered.
And Tau "Γ.com" appears "γ.com" all using the same punycode.

I do not know enough about the IDN or ASCII to control how they will ultimately appear.

So, good lesson for me.

:hail: And thank you, oh great Acroplex...the all seeing eye.

Doc, switch your browser's character encoding to UTF-8.

BTW, that letter pair above is not tau, it's gamma.

Here's a long course.

Yes that was true for me aswell. But the most Ive ever found (other than Σ), was a two (2) input like δ.com and γ.com (which btw are also mine ;) )
but thats because the greek language has a different version for its letters when it comes to upper and lower cases. I dont know what or how other single characters work in other languages..I assume they dont have that kind of difference...i may be wrong

thank you, oh great Acroplex...the all seeing eye.
Yes thank you Acroplex ...νάσε καλά
