Multilingual domain name decoding
Multilingual domain name encoding, also known as IDN (Internationalized Domain Name) encoding, is a way to convert domain names written in non-Latin scripts, such as Chinese or Arabic, into a format that can be understood by the internet's Domain Name System (DNS). This allows users to access websites using their native language characters, providing a more convenient and inclusive user experience. The encoding process involves converting the non-Latin characters into a standardized set of ASCII characters that can be recognized by the DNS system. Special software is used to perform this conversion, enabling domain names to be registered and accessed in multiple languages.
