The following table lists the 92 characters which have been added to the set of allowed symbols in .de domain names as of March 1st, 2004. Not listed are the characters which have been allowed ever since, namely the letters “a” to “z”, the digits “0” to “9”, and the hyphen.

With Knipp's Domain Registration System you can register these new .de domain names quick, easy, and online.

New in November 2010: .de domains with “ß”

Due to a modification of the IDN standard in August 2010, the letter “ß” (“Latin Small Letter Sharp S”) may now be part of domain names. DENIC has officially introduced this change on November 16th, 2010.

Hot: .de domains with “sharp S”

The table contains the newly added characters, together with the hexadecimal code (Codepoint according to Unicode V3.2) and a textual description.
