.xn--lt0am23c Domain Names

Application announced

.xn--lt0am23c is the A-label for the IDN extension.美食. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with this string, and ICANN’s new gTLD process places the application in the 2026 round rather than a live delegated registry. The extension is therefore best understood as a proposed internationalised gTLD with illustrative uses that reflect its food-oriented meaning.
