Dear all, A friend of mine who is in the computer security industry told me that Confusables.txt is NOT enforced across the world. For example, despite there existing a website అపార.com with a Telugu అ registered somewhere in the world, another (phishing) website ಅపార.com with a Kannada ಅ may be later registered elsewhere in the world despite the following confusable mapping in the Confusables.txt:
0C85 ; 0C05 ; ML # ( ಅ → అ ) KANNADA LETTER A → TELUGU LETTER A # I certainly hope this is not true! Please clarify. Is there no authoritative body to prevent such duplicate encoding? Doesn't the IANA do this? Shriramana Sharma.
