Stumbled upon https://թութ.հայ in #mastodon IRC channel (libera.chat)
Opening the link with gnome-terminal's right-click
pointed #Firefox at the website, but copy-pasting the Firefox
URL back made it become: https://%D5%A9%D5%B8%D6%82%D5%A9.%D5%B0%D5%A1%D5%B5
A collegue told me that the correct way to use Unicode
in hostname (for DNS queries) is to escape them with an xn-- prefix,
like this: https://xn--69aa8bzb.xn--y9a3aq/
Was then what Firefox wrote in the clipboard bogus ?
թութ
Ապագայի սոցցանցը։ Ոչ մի գովազդ, ոչ մի կորպորատիվ վերահսկողութիւն, էթիկական դիզայն, եւ ապակենտրոնացում։ Մաստադոնում դու ես քո տուեալների տէրը։Մաստոդոնը տեղակայուած է թութ.հայում

Any #Firefox developer around to shed a light into this experience? Toots are welcome
method of representing Unicode with the limited character subset of ASCII (letters, digits, and hyphen-minus) supported by the Domain Name System; e.g. 日本語 → kn6bt1bbz6g; München → Mnchen-3ya

in reply to lnicola • • •@lnicola my trip started from terminal. Next time I'm on the desktop I'll report the version of Firefox and maybe more detail on some other component.
Meanwhile don't forget to post your #presentation and maybe enable discoverability options in your account preferences.
Welcome in the #Fediverse !

And thanks for the welcome!
