I suggest to read the relevant RFCs: 3490 Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA). P. Faltstrom, P. Hoffman, A. Costello. March 2003. (Format: TXT=51943 bytes) (Status: PROPOSED STANDARD) 3491 Nameprep: A Stringprep Profile for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). P. Hoffman, M. Blanchet. March 2003.
