Punycoder converts international domain names to their ([RFC1035](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt) compatible)

punycode representations on the commandline, so you can use them with `nslookup` or `dig`.



This is done by first converting the non-ASCII characters into their Unicode code points, and then encoding those code 

points using a special base-36 encoding scheme. The resulting string of ASCII characters is prefixed with the 

characters "xn--" to indicate that it is a Punycode-encoded domain name.
