IANA has a list of TLDs alphabetically by domain. One thing notable are domains of in the following format:
XN--VERMGENSBERATER-CTB
XN--VERMGENSBERATUNG-PWB
XN--VHQUV
XN--VUQ861B
These are internationalized TLDs, specified in a Punycode encoding for the unicode domain name. Some of these representations are just for non-ascii characters:
XN--VERMGENSBERATER-CTB,vermögensberater,wealth consultant
Others are representing fully non-Latin alphabets:
XN--FPCRJ9C3D,భారత్,India
Most of these non-Latin representations are either country designations, brand names, or a telecom-centric term.
If you want to experiment on your own, install simpleidn gem and sign up for a Rapid API key and the Microsoft Translator API (it’s a little simpler interface than navigate individual vendor APIs)
