since I had to do with this in the past, I happen to know how Firefox works: https://wiki.mozilla.org/IDN_Display_Algorithm The summary -after recursive resolution of all nested document calls- is that hieroglyphs are candidate characters for exclusions from identifiers, according to the Unicode Consortium: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/#Table_Candidate_Characters_for_Exclusion_from_Identifiers But your animated gif got a smile in my face. All the best, Marcos
