Relevant Policy Document URL: http://www.afilias.info/register/idn/DE-INFO_IDN_Language_Table-v1-1.pdf

This document provides a description of the IDN (Internationalized Domain Names) Language Table and Policy to be used by Afilias in the .INFO TLD registry for the registration of German language .INFO domains. The policy is consistent and compliant with the ICANN IDN Registry Implementation Guidelines [ICANN] and is intended to be published publicly and registered at the IANA Internationalized Domain Names Character Tables Registry [IANA].

The following is the German Character Table that will be used for the .INFO registry. Note that only the "sanitized" character based on the Nameprep [RFC3491] specifications are included. It is expected that implementers first "sanitize" an IDN according to the Nameprep specifications before applying this table.

The table will use the convention U+XXXX to denote Unicode codepoints for each of the accepted characters for German Language IDN registrations. The table includes entry rows with 2 columns: 1. Unicode Codepoint; and 2. Description; each, separated by a semicolon: ";".

The Eszet Character: ß
Based on the Nameprep [RFC3491] specification for a Stringprep [RFC3454] profile for IDNA [RFC3490], the Eszet ß character used in the German script will be mapped to a double s string (i.e. ss).
