FAQ

What is Punycode?

Punycode is a way to represent Unicode domain names using ASCII characters, typically with an 'xn--' prefix. This tool provides percent-encoded ASCII URLs, which are different but serve a similar purpose for compatibility.

Why do I need percent-encoded URLs instead of Punycode?

Some legacy systems and applications do not support Punycode or Unicode directly. Percent-encoded ASCII URLs are widely accepted and ensure your links work everywhere.

Is this tool free?

Yes, it's completely free and requires no registration.

Does the tool store my data?

No, all processing happens in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
