Public bug reported:

Universal Acceptance is a foundational requirement for a truly
multilingual Internet, one in which users around the world can navigate
entirely in local languages. It is also the key to unlocking the
potential of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) to foster
competition, consumer choice and innovation in the domain name industry.
To achieve Universal Acceptance, Internet applications and systems must
treat all TLDs in a consistent manner, including new gTLDs and
internationalized TLDs. Specifically, they must accept, validate, store,
process and display all domain names.

Mahara does save domain names in some places eg $cfg->wwwroot or profile web address
and Mahara does rely on email addresses so we should make sure those places are compatible.

The guidelines: https://uasg.tech/wp-

Testing punycode: https://www.punycoder.com/

An example: http://xn--mori-qsa.com is a valid domain that translates to http://māori.com/ 
Can we handle it and/or can we display the link as māori.com ?
