The W3C is said to support the UTF-encoding of html addresses, which is understandable. However, we've repeatedly run into issues with the encoding of our Norwegian websites that utilize a different set of characters. For example, one site's name is forbrukslÄn.no <https://www.xn--forbruksln-95a.no/>, using Norwegian character sets. It is then automatically translated into https://www.xn--forbruksln-95a.no/. I do not have the technical skills to discern whether there is a potential solution to this, but it's somewhat frustrating to be locked out of the UTF-8 system. The optics are not very good when trying to entice visitors. One solution is to utilize the <a href=""> encoding, but that is not always supported. Does anyone know at which point there will be a solution to this, or whether it's even feasible within today's technological framework? Thank you Signe K.
