.数字人
Is .数字人 a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .数字人 in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Internet DotTrademark Organisation Limited named .数字人 as the replacement string of its .官网 application.
A Chinese-script label for "digital human" AI avatars; topical, but Chinese sites rarely use IDN endings as their main address.
Chinese-market companies building virtual humans, AI avatars and virtual presenters, plus brand-protection registrants in that sector
No applications recorded for this TLD yet.
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
クラウド ("cloud") is the same bet: a CJK-script plain-language noun for a computing category that was still forming, sold on the premise that a whole nascent vendor industry would want to plant its primary identity on the category word itself.
移動/移动 ("mobile") matches the buyer and the mechanics — a Chinese-script bare technology-sector noun for Chinese tech firms — but it names an already-mature sector with incumbent giants rather than a just-born product class with no established occupants.
在线 ("online") is likewise a generic Chinese-script tech noun offered to any digital business as an identity, but it is an all-purpose state-of-being word rather than the name of one specific emerging product category, so the thing that has to be true for it to work is much broader.
What a .数字人 domain is
.数字人 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under AI & tech. Nobody has applied for .数字人 in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .数字人 domain extension real yet?
.数字人 is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .数字人 domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .数字人 name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .数字人 was .xn--gckr3f0f, delegated on 19 February 2016.
Is .数字人 a real TLD?
Not yet. .数字人 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .数字人 as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The string 数字人 means "digital human" — the Chinese term for AI-driven virtual humans, avatars and virtual presenters, a visible and growing product category in China's AI sector. The record shows one application, filed by Internet DotTrademark Organisation Limited as an IDN replacement string for its primary application .官网 (stated neutrally, from the record only). Not the band above (30-49): Chinese-script IDN gTLDs have, by analogy, seen little primary-identity use — Chinese businesses and apps overwhelmingly identify with ASCII .com or .cn, input-method and app-link friction for IDN addresses persists, and earlier Chinese IDN endings such as .在线 or .公司 produced, by analogy, promotional registration bursts rather than sustained sites, so volume-on-price demand cannot be assumed here. Not the band below (1-9): the digital-human category is real and policy-encouraged in China, so a small set of sector companies plausibly take defensive or vanity registrations, giving a realistic though shallow market over the next 5 years. Counts, registration figures and prices for any analogous TLD are unknown to me under the rules; all comparisons here are inferences from analogy. Main market uncertainty: whether Chinese-script IDN domains gain any mainstream role in a Chinese internet dominated by super-app ecosystems where domain names matter less than app identities.
