What is Punycode

Punycode is a representation of Unicode with the limited ASCII character subset used for Internet hostnames. It's defined in RFC 3492 and is used to encode internationalized domain names (IDN) in applications that don't support Unicode. This IDN converter online helps you translate between these formats using a reliable Punycode generator.

Examples of international domain name conversion:

  • münchen.de (Unicode) → xn--mnchen-3ya.de (Punycode)
  • 日本.jp (Unicode) → xn--wgv71a.jp (Punycode)
  • مصر.eg (Unicode) → xn--wgbh1c.eg (Punycode)

The xn-- prefix indicates that the label is Punycode-encoded. Use this Punycode translator to convert any internationalized domain name to its ASCII-compatible format.
