and  are katakana characters, so only examples 1 and 3 are valid from a language perspective.   Those characters do not exist within hiragana and I do not believe they exist as standalone Chinese characters, either.

Thank you! I had not known about the IANA IDN tables, and they are fascinating reading.

In particular, it provides a concrete way of talking about registry policies that affect phishing attacks through confusables, as discussed in our "Another difficulty to overcome ..." thread a few days ago.

It must be over a year since I last looked at the IANA IDN tables and they have grown massively in that time  iana.org/domains/idn-tables

 

Some observations: I will use Verisignʼs Japanese .コム (transliteration of .com)

 

There is .コム Japanese, which is LDH (ASCII Letters, Digits, Hyphen) + Hiragana + Katakana + a heap of Han

There is .コム Hiragana, which is DH + Hiragana

There is .コム Katakana, which is DH + Katakana

There is .コム Han, which is DH + a heap of Han
