Editing Internationalized domain name (section)

==ASCII spoofing concerns==
{{Main|IDN homograph attack}}
The use of Unicode in domain names makes it potentially easier to [[spoofing attack|spoof]] websites as the visual representation of an IDN string in a web browser may make a spoof site appear indistinguishable from the legitimate site being spoofed, depending on the font used. For example, the Unicode character U+0430 – [[A (Cyrillic)|Cyrillic small letter a]] – can look identical to the Unicode character U+0061 ([[a|Latin small letter a]]), used in English. As a concrete example, using [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic letters]] [[A (Cyrillic)|а]], [[Ye (Cyrillic)|е]], [[Dotted I (Cyrillic)|і]], [[Er (Cyrillic)|р]] ([[a]]; then "Ie"/"Ye" U+0435, looking essentially identical to Latin letter [[e]]; then U+0456, essentially identical to Latin letter [[i]]; and "Er" U+0440, essentially identical to Latin letter [[p]]), the URL wіkіреdіа.org is formed, which is virtually indistinguishable from the visual representation of the legitimate wikipedia.org (possibly depending on typefaces).
