But I can't find any reference to what then goes inside SSL certificate! Should it be "花子.co.jp" or "xn--i8s592g.co.jp"? I don't read or write Japanese at all, but 花子 is the name "Hanako", which means flower child. :-) > Even if you write that in the source code, that > doesn't mean everybody has a font installed to display it.
