Convert Punycode to human-readable Unicode domain names.
Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) allow domain names to be written in native scripts such as Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese, or accented Latin characters. However, to be compatible with the Domain Name System (DNS), these Unicode domain names are encoded into a special ASCII format called Punycode.
Our Punycode to Unicode Converter helps you instantly decode these ASCII-safe domain names back into their original, human-readable form — so you can view, share, or verify how they were intended to appear.
Punycode is a method of encoding Unicode characters into the limited ASCII character set required by DNS. Domains using special characters like ç, ö, or 東京 are automatically converted to ASCII using a prefix (xn--) and encoded characters.
For example:
While Punycode is essential for technical systems, it's difficult to read and interpret. That’s why decoding it back to Unicode is helpful when verifying or managing multilingual domains.
When dealing with international domains, hosting accounts, or SSL certificates, you’ll often see the Punycode version of a domain — especially in control panels, DNS records, or WHOIS tools. This converter allows you to reverse that encoding and see the original domain name as it appears to the user.
The Punycode to Unicode Converter helps you:
Whether you're analyzing an email address, reviewing WHOIS data, or validating domain branding, this tool helps you make sense of encoded domain names quickly.
