{{Main|Internationalized domain name}}
The character set allowed in the Domain Name System is based on [[ASCII]] and does not allow the representation of names and words of many languages in their native scripts or alphabets. [[ICANN]] approved the [[Internationalized domain name]] (IDNA) system, which maps [[Unicode]] strings used in application user interfaces into the valid DNS character set by an encoding called [[Punycode]]. For example, københavn.eu is mapped to xn--kbenhavn-54a.eu. Many [[domain name registry|registries]] have adopted IDNA.
