What is .삼성?
ICANN's records put the delegation of .삼성 on February 21, 2014. Like most of the newer endings, it was applied for in the 2012 New gTLD Program round and its registry agreement was signed on September 27, 2013.
In the DNS, .삼성 is stored as the ASCII string xn--cg4bki (its "A-label"). Browsers and apps that support IDNs show the native script instead.
SAMSUNG SDS CO., LTD also runs one other TLD, including .samsung.
