# ICANN adds Javanese and Canadian syllabics to IDN reference rules

ICANN has published new reference rules covering the Javanese script and Canadian Aboriginal syllabics, expanding its guidelines for internationalized domain names (IDNs). The organization also updated seven existing reference rules for other scripts. The proposals for the new additions originated from stakeholders in Indonesia and Canada. These rules define how characters from specific scripts can be used in domain names, helping registries implement IDNs consistently and securely.

## in plain words

ICANN has added rules for two more writing systems, Javanese script and Canadian syllabics, to its list of approved domain name scripts. It also updated rules for seven other scripts. The changes came after requests from groups in Indonesia and Canada.
