More about the Punycode Encoder
DNS itself only understands ASCII, which means a domain name written in Cyrillic, Chinese, or with an emoji has to get represented some other way before it can actually resolve, and Punycode is that specific encoding, converting non-ASCII characters into an ASCII string prefixed with xn-- that DNS infrastructure can handle without ever needing to understand Unicode itself. This tool encodes and decodes Punycode for internationalized domain names, converting between the Unicode domain a person actually types and the ASCII form DNS actually resolves. Useful for converting an internationalized domain into the ASCII Punycode form it actually resolves to behind the scenes, decoding a suspicious xn-- domain to see what Unicode characters it's actually hiding before trusting a link, or checking exactly how a non-ASCII domain gets represented once it leaves a browser's address bar and reaches DNS.
