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.

### Internationalized Domain Name

> This section explains how to perform a mapping between Unicode domain name and its ASCII form.
