Sеx.net, Internationalized domain name
The only non English character in this name is the "е". The "s" and the "x" are regular English characters. This е looks just like the regular English e, when it's actually a Cyrillic letter called "IE".
Anyway, the most important thing about IDNs, is which countries are using the international letters in their languages. Since the only internationalized letter here is the е, let's look at the countries that use this letter in their languages:
country
population
internet users
Russia
143,782,338 (2004)
6,000,000 (2002)
Ukraine
47,732,079 (2004)
900,000 (2002)
Serbia
10,825,900 (2004)
640,000 (2002)
Bulgaria
