DNS and URI persistence using IDN

Yet another story in the category of DNS and URI persistence.

In this case, it will have an impact on a few people but probably not at large scale.  The RFC 5892[1] forbids some domain name types such as the character "⁂" U+2042 in a domain name. Someone [2] has received an email from his registrar to inform him that the domain name would disappear. The calendar of when is not yet sure.
