Domain Name in Bangla

Since the evaluation of Internet the DNS server only supports 7 -bit US-ASCII character set. Multilingual characters in domain name are becoming very important now-days with concept of localization and internationalization. A domain name which capable of encoding languages written in other than Latin script is called internationalized domain name. The following reasons have considered when we designed gTLD, ccTLD, “Character Set”, “Other Spec”.

Reason of choices:

1. 1st layer: www. World Wide Web
We have chosen this part of domain as ওওও. It is direct abbreviation of World Wide Web i.e. in Bangla (ওয়ার্লড ওয়াইড ওয়েব)।. We may also chose ববব, as World Wide Web translate as বিশ্ব ব্যাপী বুনট

2. 2nd layer: selective name
This part of domain name uses by any person or any organization. We defined “Character Set” regarding this choice. This is first draft of character set which may changes by discussing some other issues such as security constraint, prohibiting character and others.

3. 3rd layer: (gTLD) generic Top Label Domain Name. We proposed this list based on the following issues:
a. Conjunct letter will not be applicable in gTLD.
b. O-kar and ou-kar will not be applicable in gTLD.

4. 4th layer: (ccTLD) country code Top Level Domain. We proposed this list based on the following issues.
a. This will be better choice if we choice two Bangla letter in ccTLD.
b. Joint-consonants will not be applicable in ccTLD naming
c. Kar-sign will not be used in ccTLD naming.

Questions that raises
1. How many prohibited do we have?
2. What happened if we exclude U+200C (Zero width non-joiner), U+200D (Zero width joiner)?
3. If we exclude U+200C and U+200D how do we write র‌্য [Ra+Ja-Phala].
4. Security issues?
5. How do we handle ত্ with ৎ?
