Ask HN: Chinese domain and punycode

2 points by ParameterOne ↗ HN
I was checking domain availability in China and I wondered..... Am I really registering the puny code version of the domain? Like xn--p8sr6e67h0r1c.cn? And does .cn and .com also convert to punycode?

Yeah! All domains are ultimately punycode at the end of the day. Makes all kinds of weird stuff possible, like https://xn--i-7iq.ws
