Unicode to Punycode
You can convert Unicode to Punycode with the aid of Unicode to Punycode. Punycode is a unique encoding that is used to convert Unicode characters to ASCII, however it only supports a small subset of the Unicode character set.
Internationalized domain names are encoded using Punycode (IDNs). Simply copy Unicode, paste it into the programme, and then hit the "Convert" button.
Why Unicode Is Better Than Punycode
When a Unicode character is used in a URL, it must be encoded using Punycode since many Unicode characters are not natively supported by the ASCII character set, which is the character set used in URLs.
The ASCII character set is quite small, consisting mostly of the letters of the English alphabet, the digits 0-9, and a few punctuation marks.
IDNs, or internationalised domain names, can be incorporated into URLs by utilising Punycode to encode Unicode characters.
Unlike the standard ASCII domain names, IDNs use non-Latin character sets like those used in Chinese, Arabic, and Cyrillic languages.
Users can still visit websites with internationalised domain names thanks to Punycode, even if their computer's operating system or web browser doesn't recognise the characters used.
To add to that, IDNs can now be properly recognised and handled by web servers.
