Comprehensive Guide to IDN Decoding
What is IDN Decoding?
IDN Decoding is the process of converting ASCII-based Punycode strings (often starting with `xn--`) back into their human-readable Unicode representation. This is essential for understanding international domain names that contain non-Latin characters.
While computers and DNS servers use Punycode for technical compatibility, humans prefer native scripts like Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, or accented Latin characters. IDN decoding bridges this gap.
Key Features of This Tool
- Domain Awareness: Automatically detects domain labels and only decodes the Punycode parts.
- Batch Processing: Decode multiple domain names or strings at once.
- Privacy First: All decoding happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
