Yeah, which is a pretty old version. Thanks for flagging that.

So I just now updated the checker to use ICU4J 58.2, which is the latest
version I could find to download.

http://xn—9s9h.ws (with FOX FACE emoji) no longer causes the checker to emit
that “Invalid host: An ACE label does not contain a valid label string”message:
