With this launch, Gmail users will be able to send to, and receive from, email addresses that contain accented or non-Latin characters. This includes both the domain name (to the right of the @ symbol) and/or the local-part (to the left of the @ symbol), as in 武＠メール.グーグル.

Google Accounts will continue to contain only non-accented Latin characters (ASCII), so users will not be able to create an account such as Борис@gmail.com.

Release track:
Rapid release and Scheduled release
