This document specifies a reference set of Label Generation Rules for Portuguese using a limited repertoire as appropriate for a second level domain.
All references converge on 38 Latin code points.
There is no IDN table published in the IANA Repository of IDN Practices by a .pt ccTLD, but the registry provides IDN information [700].
Letters documented in some references but not included:
U+00E5 (å) LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
U+00E6 (æ) LATIN SMALL LETTER AE
U+00E8 (è) LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
U+00EB (ë) LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS
U+00EC (ì) LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH GRAVE
U+00EE (î) LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH CIRCUMFLEX
U+00EF (ï) LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS
U+00F1 (ñ) LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE
U+00F2 (ò) LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH GRAVE
U+00F6 (ö) LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS
U+00F8 (ø) LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE
U+00F9 (ù) LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH GRAVE
U+00FB (û) LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH CIRCUMFLEX
U+00FF (ÿ) LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS
U+0101 (ā) LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON
U+0103 (ă) LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH BREVE
U+0113 (ē) LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH MACRON
U+0115 (ĕ) LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH BREVE
U+012B (ī) LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH MACRON
U+012D (ĭ) LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH BREVE
U+014D (ō) LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH MACRON
U+014F (ŏ) LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH BREVE
U+0153 (œ) LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE
U+016B (ū) LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH MACRON
U+016D (ŭ) LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH BREVE
While there is at least one lexical item in Portuguese (the word "ñ") that uses U+00F1 (ñ) LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE as given in [605] none of the other references include it, with the sole exception of the CLDR auxiliary set [402]. Lacking any evidence of common use, it is not included in the repertoire.
A number of letters not considered essential to writing the core vocabulary of the language are nevertheless in common use. Where they have not been added to the core repertoire, they are flagged as "extended-cp" in the table of code points. A context is provided that by default will prohibit labels with extended code points. To support extended single code points or code point sequences, delete the context "extended-cp" from their repertoire definition.
For Portuguese, U+00FC (ü) LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS, is the only code point included in the extended set, It was part of the standard spelling but abolished in the Orthographic Agreement of 1990 [604].
None.
This LGR defines no named character classes.
Common rules only:
Hyphen Restrictions — restrict the allowable placement of hyphens (no leading/ending hyphen and no hyphen in positions 3 and 4). These restrictions are described in section 4.2.3.1 of RFC5891 [120]. They are implemented here as context rule on U+002D (-) (-) HYPHEN-MINUS.
Leading Combining Marks — restricts the allowable placement of combining marks (no leading combining mark). This rule is described in section 4.2.3.2 of RFC5891 [120].
Actions included are the default actions for LGRs as well as those needed to invalidate labels with misplaced combining marks.
This reference LGR for Portuguese for the 2nd Level has been developed by Michel Suignard and Asmus Freytag, verified in expert reviews by Michael Everson, Nicholas Ostler, and Wil Tan, and based on multiple open public consultations.

In the listing of the repertoire by code point, references starting from [0] refer to the version of the Unicode Standard in which the corresponding code point was initially encoded. Other references (starting from [100]) document usage of code points. For more details, see the Table of References below.

The following table lists all named rules defined in the LGR and indicates whether they are used as trigger in an action or as context (when or not-when) for a code point. (Any use of context rules for variants is not indicated).

Legend
The following table lists the actions that are used to assign dispositions to labels and variant labels, based on the specified conditions. The order of actions defines their precedence: the first action triggered by a label is the one defining its disposition.
# | Condition | Rule / Variant Set | Disposition | Ref | Comment | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | if label matches | leading-combining-mark | → | invalid | by default, labels with leading combining marks are invalid | |
2 | if any label (catch-all) | → | valid | catch all |
