What are IDN domains and how do I register them?

Want to register a domain name with special characters? This is permitted using a special type of domain known as an internationalized domain name or IDN domain.

IDN domains, unlike regular domains, are encoded using a special encoding scheme called Punycode. Punycode converts the special characters into a series of letters that stand in for the non-English character. You can recognize an IDN domain in its raw form because you’ll see an "xn--" in front of it. So möbelträgerfüße.com becomes xn--mbeltrgerfsse-gfb8xwd.com.
