How to get mailto working for IDN email IDs

I have mailto:test@维奈.com on an image which when clicked opens the email client, but the emailID appears as asas@维奈.com .

Any Idea how I can get mailto: link working for IDN domains?.

Solution

  • I think this is where punycode representation comes in. Punycode is a method of converting UTF-8 domain names into an ASCII string that will work in systems that can't deal with Internationalized Domain Names.

    test@维奈.com

    becomes

    mailto:[email protected]

    I expect there is a library for ASP.NET that can convert unicode domain names into such an ACE string.
