It's not a bug. It's a feature missing, which some of you came up with and what seems to be in need more and more. I would like to open this issue collecting ideas for that to target on a soon implementation for D6 and D7. The magic word is "punycode" and makes me comin' up with thinking about an extra widget on this.

Read here on issues related to this need:
#1227998: error with punycode
#495834: Allow Internationalized domain names (new link to the discussion below)
#1319214: Non-ASCII characters in URL not valid

and here what "punycode" is (if you don't already know): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

Hi-

Anything yet :D ? We are now allowed to use ä,ö,ü,õ in domainnames and people do so, it is needed for links.

Regards,

Virgo

I guess all are waiting for a re-usable D8 core implementation...

hass, well as you can see, it was me opening the issue and mentioning it on the project page, but ... then please fill the issue with thoughts and code or ideas, otherwise it calls for unnessesary attention to those here, who try to fix important issues over night.

@amateescu That was a task, now it's a bug!
The core should handle internationalized domains because they are exists yet

I just tested this and I can enter a link like http://öbb.at/, http://faß.de,
http://√.com without a problem, they render alright and are clickable.

I also just tested it and it is working fine for D8.
Testing on D7 did not work. Then, moving this issue back to 7.
