Can you give a little more info?
Especially since it's about a specific domain.
Language
Latin based IDN? Russian? Asian language?
Is it a novelty domain?
Is it a commercial domain?
Is it a commonly searched word in language "as is"?
Specs would give you better answers.

IDNs = International Domain Names
Essentially, a "normal" name uses the English/Latin alphabet and not alternate scripts.
IDNs = names in different languages
