The ICANN started to allow non-latin alphabet to be used in the domain names to support half of the word which is actually using a non-latin alphabet (Russians, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, etc.)

Google decided to celebrate with an anti-latin graphic to great their visitors.

    Now it works internationally at the DNS level.
