Lesson: Internationalization of Network Resources
In a modern Internet community, many users are no longer satisfied with using
only ASCII symbols to identify a domain name or a web resource. For example,
they would like to be able to register a new domain using their native
characters in Arabic or Chinese or to define a new URI using Unicode characters.
That is why the internationalization of network resources is a cornerstone in
widening horizons for the World Wide Web.
This lesson describes the internationalization of the network resources Domain
Name and Resource Identifier.
This section explains how to perform a mapping between Unicode domain name and
its ASCII form.
This section shows how to use the mapping methods of the
URI class to convert
between an IRI and a URI.
