What is .ею?
IANA delegated .ею on February 12, 2016, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
IANA lists EURid vzw as the manager of .ею, with an address in Belgium. The registry's website is http://www.registry.eu. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 5 name servers for .ею, 4 of them reachable over IPv6. The delegation is DNSSEC-signed, so resolvers can verify that answers for .ею haven't been tampered with on the way. Registration data is published over WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.eu).
European Union also has other country-code domains in the root zone: .eu and .ευ (Greek).
Same registry, other endings

.ею FAQ
What country is .ею?
.ею is the country-code top-level domain for the European Union.
Who owns the .ею domain?
IANA lists EURid vzw as the manager of .ею: it runs the registry and sets the rules for European Union's ccTLD. Individual .ею names belong to whoever registers them.
Can I register a .ею domain from the US?
It depends on EURid vzw's policy. Some ccTLDs are open to anyone in the world, while others require a local address, company or trademark. Check the registry (http://www.registry.eu) or an accredited registrar before you buy.
Is .ею DNSSEC-signed?
Yes. The root zone has a DS record for .ею, so DNSSEC validation works all the way down from the root.
How is .ею written in the DNS?
As the ASCII "A-label" xn--e1a4c. Browsers convert it back to .ею for display.
How do I look up who owns a .ею domain?
Query the registry's registration data service: the WHOIS server is whois.eu. Many registrants use privacy services, so personal details may be hidden.
