Future work:
To Do:
Phase 1: Use this symbol in email clients and applications that deal with email addresses and spread it usage and implementation.
Phase 2: Work on suggest the new symbol to Unicode and other standard bodies as new character should be used in email addresses with Arabic domain name.
