Feature Request: Punycode URLs #376

Open benaltair opened 9 months ago

benaltair commented 9 months ago

It would be helpful to have encode and decode scripts for Punycode. This refers to domain names which have international characters, such as Chinese, Arabic, or accented Latin characters. Most browsers automatically convert Punycode to the represented characters in the URL bar.

Practically this means: 

xn--rhta4012bbwc.live    ===    金山银山.live
     (encoded)                    (decoded)

The scripts would allow you to decode the example on the left, and see the output on the right.

Something like the methods employed in this library could help speed things up perhaps: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/punycode.js

I was just looking for this as well! <3

Oh, I've just copy and pasted the library from the link and it works, you can try it out :)
