Other permitted<br \/>\ncharacters include the national characters \u00e5, \u00e4 and \u00f6 and the S\u00e1mi language characters of<br \/>\nspoken in Finland, as well as the hyphen-minus sign. When marketing and brokering domain names<br \/>\n, brokers must take into account the restrictions on domain names containing national characters. Customers applying for and considering a domain name should be aware of the technical limitations of domain names containing national characters. In particular, customers should be aware of the possible need to apply for both<br \/>\ndomain names with national characters and corresponding domain names without national characters, such as \u00e4\u00e4kk\u00f6nen.fi and aakkonen.fi.<br \/>\nThe use of characters outside the Latin alphabet is made possible by the punycode, also known as ACE (ASCII Compatible Encoding). The name server system understands a domain name containing national characters if it is technically defined in ACE format. For example, \u00e4\u00e4kk\u00f6nen.fi is in ACE format: xn--kknen-fraa=0m.fi. There are numerous websites offering conversion tools.
