🌐 Punycode to Unicode Converter – Decode International Domains with Ease
Are you struggling to understand domain names that start with xn--? These encoded strings are written in Punycode, a way of representing international characters in ASCII format. Our Punycode to Unicode Converter is the perfect tool to help you decode these complex strings and transform them into readable text — all within your browser.

🔍 What Is Punycode?

Punycode is a specialized encoding system that allows non-ASCII characters (like Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, and more) to be used in domain names, which are typically limited to ASCII characters. It makes international domain names (IDNs) compatible with the Domain Name System (DNS), which only understands basic Latin characters.

For example:

• Punycode: xn--fsq.com
• Unicode: 例.com

Without conversion, these domains appear unreadable. That’s where this tool comes in!

🛠️ How the Tool Works:

Our Punycode to Unicode tool instantly decodes any valid Punycode domain. Simply:

1. Paste the xn-- formatted string in the input box.
2. Click on "Convert" or wait for the auto-conversion.
3. View the decoded Unicode result in seconds.

It’s that easy – no downloads, no installations, and no limitations.
