The Gemini spec requires the usage of URLs currently, and URLs
cannot have any Unicode in them.
The Gemini specification precisely says the opposite when it mentions
"UTF-8 URLs". And, anyway, the specification is not final yet.

Solderpunk has said before that this wording was a mistake, as URLs can only be ASCII as defined by RFC. Therefore they cannot contain IDNs.
