@bagder The really sad part? All this complexity, all this surface area for nasty bugs, all these opportunities for social engineering.. and they don't even work for their intended purpose!! Earlier this year, I needed a new domain, with my last name in it — which contains an ø. I got one version with the "ø" and one with "o" instead just in case IDNs caused issues.
I've learned that virtually nothing supports IDNs. I've stopped using the "ø" version because "xn--blah-54a" showed up everywhere.
