I've never seen a legit unicode domain personally, but, is this not compatible with whitelisting specific domains? (in pihole, anyways...)

I've never seen a legit unicode domain personally, but, is this not compatible with whitelisting specific domains? (in pihole, anyways...)
- dual_dingo 7y agoIn countries that use diacritical characters, umlauts etc., unicode domains are somewhat common (but are often just an alias for a non-unicode primary domain).
- LadyCailin 7y agoI have, but I live in Norway, where we have æøå in the standard alphabet. I suspect it’s more common still in Asian countries, because at least in Norwegian, there are standard ascii replacements for all the extra letters, å = aa, ø = oe, æ = ae
- Nullabillity 7y agoHere in Sweden I have never encountered a single legit IDN domain.
- LadyCailin 7y agorødt.no comes to mind, but I know I’ve seen others.
- lokedhs 7y agowww.hörby.se You probably don't want to remove the dots on that one.
- Symbiote 7y agoI know http://www.skånetrafiken.se http://www.xn--sknetrafiken-ucb.se, but like many it just redirects to an ASCII version. (Does it look weird seeing "Skane" when you know it ought to be "Skaane"?) Similarly for a power company, http://ørsted.dk http://xn--rsted-uua.dk, just a redirect, but they do use it on adverts and my electricity bill. Some that don't redirect: http://mgk-ø.dk/ http://xn--mgk--jra.dk/ https://www.ø-strøm.dk/ https://www.xn---strm-uuae.dk/ https://magnusbråth.se/ https://xn--magnusbrth-85a.se/ (HN has converted the displayed URLs to Punycode, presumably as a quick security measure without reference to the reasonable characters for each TLD.)
