idn

= Internationalized Domain Name

from idna = idn for applications

The browsers with IDN support are converting the characters to a punycode string
which starts with "xn--" followed by 2 ( i.e. £ =9a) or mostly 3 digits.

idn domains: under some tld´s restricted i.e. .info + .org only "äöü"




How to register an idn => visit a registrar or subdomain provider, who supports idn registrations.

"special-character(s).subdomain-provider.xyz" i.e. ─‗─.6x.to

or right click "copy link location"
