Check .lt domain

Information about IDN usage in the .lt domain names

On 30th of March, 2003 10:00 a.m. Lithuanian time (GMT+03:00) Domreg.lt released the registration of domain names satisfying the IDN standard.

IDN domain names will be registered in ASCII representation. Domain names will be registered only if their representation in Unicode have allowed characters in .lt second level domain names: latin (a-z), special Lithuanian characters (ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų, ū, ž), also digits (0-9) and hyphen.
Example:

• IDN domain name: xn–ai-ema19a.lt
• Unicode equivalent: ačiū.lt

All .lt policy requirements for IDN domain names in ASCII and Unicode representation are the same. Minimal length of the domain name is 2 symbols, maximum length – 63 symbols. For example, IDN with lithuanian characters ačiū.lt will be expressed in zone files as xn–ai-ema19a.lt
