@olivvybee is Unicode supported?
@stgiga I imagine that depends on the particular dns host, I don’t think it’s standardised that much
Ryan Castellucci (they/them) 
1) definitely violates the spec
2) will probably work fine in dig
@olivvybee @stgiga wait I looked up the spec, binary data is allowed? Welp..
@olivvybee @stgiga as an aside, UTF-8 works in wifi ssids
Ted Mielczarek@stgiga @olivvybee sorry for replying to this old thread but if you're using a TXT record then the proper thing to use for Unicode support is punycode: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode
@tedmielczarek @olivvybee
That will definitely please my registrar.
Another thing you can do with Punycode is use it to give American Baudot TTY/TDDs the ability to transmit Unicode, because Punycode's characters ARE safe in Baudot as used by TTY/TDD. Sending Unicode over TDD would allow for quite a lot of non-English conversations to be had by the HoH. Sending stuff like emoji and pictographs or music notes would work. So you'd want to hook up UnifontEX (especially once I get it to mathematical maxout for 65,535 glyphs.)
