Test TLDs

The first eleven IDNA TLDs were added on October 2007 for the purpose of testing the use of IDNA at the top level, and are going to be live for a limited evaluation period. Each of these TLDs encodes a word meaning “test” in some language.

Each of these domains has only one site with the word example encoded in the respective script and language. These example.test sites are test wikis used by ICANN.
