iputils-ping in bionic and artful is linked with libidn:
andreas@nsnx:~$ dpkg -S /bin/ping
iputils-ping: /bin/ping
andreas@nsnx:~$ ldd /bin/ping|grep idn
libidn.so.11 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libidn.so.11 (0x00007f21be770000)
andreas@nsnx:~$ ping -c 1 räksmörgås.se

Confirming that's not the case in xenial.
ubuntu@xenial-ping:~$ ping bjørvika.uio.nornet

Title:
no IDN in nslookup and host
Status in BIND:

Status in bind9 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in bind9 package in Debian:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: bind9
Neither nslookup or host supports IDN. If you try , for example, to
get the IP for "registrera-domän.se" it fails every time. As the use
of IDN is increasing I think it would be a good thing if these tools
supported this.
