That would be the .gr registry's problem then. They could take the same solution as the .ua registry -force lowercase and allow all-latin or all-greek names. Oh, what do you know... they *do* do something similar. https://grweb.ics.forth.gr/tomcat_docs/AP592_012_2011_.pdf See page 5 and 6, in particular: 8. Any [.gr] Domain Names that are homographs of a [.gr] Domain Name already assigned shall be automatically reserved for the Holder of the above assigned [.gr] Domain Name and shall be activated following the Holder's submission of an activation declaration to the Registry. So how do you spoof greekbank.gr with greekbank.gr under those rules? > No, the simple solution against such a simple problem is to > use proper font, because all the people know that '0' and 'o' > are different characters and treat them differently. Well then, if all that's required is a "proper font", what is the problem with your Saitoh families? You said they were "represented by 4 similar but different characters, which is distinguished by people named "Saitoh" but not distinguished by most others," Why can't *they* use a "proper font" that makes the difference between the 4 characters recognizable? After all, *they* know the 4 characters are different and can treat them differently, right? (And no, it's *not* "different for kanji" - it's the exact same problem and you know it. In both cases, (I/l and your Sai issue), the problem is similar glyphs. Don't bother replying to suggest a fix for the lower-l/upper-I issue unless the *same* fix applies to your Sai issue).
