When turning foreign phrase(2+ words) into punycode, you'll also encounter a space within the punycode.
For example:
с днем рождения ("Happy Birthday" in Russian) == xn-- -klcbdcfs5aigizh7t
You can't have xn-- -klcbdcfs5aigizh7t.com
As far as I can tell when doing domain searches on a registrar, you can't ever have a space (or spaces) inside the domain name. But within the punycode, if you close the gap, it doesn't translate back to the actual word. It spits out "invalid punycode."
Should I simply close the gap in the words like this: сднемрождения ....
and then translate this into punycode? I get: xn--d1aacbdoygfgvh7q
As you can see the punycode comes out completely different and has no space.
But xn--d1aacbdoygfgvh7q.com would translate into сднемрождения.com ..which is OK, right?
Note: "Happy birthday" is simply an example to illustrate my point.
