If you register a name under something like .com, .jp, .de, and so on, where you have to pay for the name, you'll do that over a Web interface that will handle the conversion to punycode. This means that you will only see the non-ASCII name (maybe some of these Web interfaces also show the punycode form for reference). If you register the name yourself as a host or subdomain in a domain that you (or your employer) own, the form you use depends on the tool you use, but punycode should work in all cases.
