HKDNR has announced to give free trial of Chinese domain names for 6 months. Without a second thought, I have registered two Chinese domain names.
Actually, the Unicode names shall be converted to punycode strings in order to configure DNS setting. Punycode is the standard coding scheme to convert Unicode strings to limited characters supported by DNS. For instance, my temporary registered domain name is "電信局.暫時.HK" in Unicode will be translated as "XN--VUQ841AX29B.XN--KJVZI.HK" in punycode.
On client browsers, in order to support Chinese domain names, the i-Nav plugin developed by Verisign must be installed. This is for Microsfot IE only. What a pity that there is no such plugin for Firefox and other browsers.
