Allowed Characters in DNS names in unbound's local data: IDN

[Ron Varburg]

 I think, though I haven't checked, that:
1. IDN is designed so that each byte, on 8 bit boundaries, would look like a printable ASCII character.
2. Therefore, any DNS software would support it out of the box, without being aware of it.

So just meet IDN restrictions in your plans to your org DNS Names/CNAME, unbound local data, whatever.     On Wednesday, November 27, 2019, 9:33:42 PM GMT, Patrik Fältström <paf at frobbit.se> wrote:  
 
 What is called "IDNA2008" is in use "all over the place" and is the way of encoding Unicode so that the encoded strings can be used as domain names.
