Unicode domain names. Using Punycode, host names containing Unicode characters are transcoded to a subset of ASCII consisting of letters, digits, and hyphens, which is called the letter–digit–hyphen (LDH) subset. You can use this tool to see how such names are mapped into regular ASCII domain names that begin with the special xn-- followed by regular characters, followed by an encoding to insert special characters within the regular ones. IDNs are formed using characters from different scripts, such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic or Devanagari. For example, the German München (English: Munich) is encoded as Mnchen-3ya. 中国, münchen. These are encoded by the Unicode standard and used as allowed by relevant IDN protocols. g. de). The IDN Registration Process The domain name system (DNS) only recognizes American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) characters A-Z, 0-9 and '-'. Punycode is a standardized encoding (RFC 3492) that converts Unicode strings into the limited ASCII character set allowed in domain names. vjsko qbstbma gjq hyaslt aqgz rgaqvur nkehf pva lqdw gav
