Maybe the non-ascii characters could be coloured somehow, like with a different colour background.
That way we could still show the real characters and not the punycode.
- Operyl 10y agoBut how would one mass-educate all the non-technical users on this? It'd be a dirty little inside secret.

- khedoros1 10y agoI mentioned that in the last thread we had about this. You'd have to be careful with the palettes for the colorblind, and the blind would need screenreader updates, I guess. Some kind of clear, visual indication does make sense to me, though.
- smsm42 10y agoIf you color ASCII with one color and all the rest of characters with another, there still can be cross-charset spoofing. Just not if ASCII domain is the one being spoofed, but the whole point of IDN was to enable people to create non-ASCII domains, so the "solution" that does not work for all non-ASCII domains is not a solution that is compatible with IDN.
