  Has the domain registration run out? I cannot read swedish, but I think that is what this page is saying:

  That would be a bug because, even if it was expired, the poster is only trying to input the ö mark into the form. The system is not taking it.

  I’ll send in a feedback and point this out to staff along with a link to this thread.

  edit: Hmm, I can’t even put that character into google without it being translated to a regular ‘o’.

  WordPress.com domains are limited to the following characters: [-.a-z0-9]

  This may change in the future but it is not planned at this time.
