About Punycode

Punycode is a representation of Unicode with ASCII characters. It enables Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) by allowing non-ASCII characters in domain names while maintaining compatibility with existing DNS infrastructure.

Key Features

  • ASCII compatible with existing DNS systems
  • Reversible conversion back to original Unicode
  • Uses "xn--" prefix for encoded parts
  • Optimized for domain name encoding

Use Cases

  • International domain registration
  • Email address internationalization
  • Web browser URL handling
  • DNS server configuration
Only domain parts containing non-ASCII characters are encoded. ASCII-only parts remain unchanged.
