available.


=== IDN Character Sets ===
The registry accepts the following character sets for IDN registrations. 

* Chinese

=== Transfer ===
*  A .TW Domain Transfer must be initiated with an "Authorisation Code", which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner or Admin-C of the domain.
* Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
* Initiate the transfer on time and not just shortly before the domain expires.
* Please ensure that the domain is older than 60 days otherwise the transfer will be denied.
* Please note that you need a signed request from the registrant before you initiate the transfer.
