xn-- on domain, what it means?

dns

Solution

Its the result of IDNA encoding; i.e. converting your unicode domain name to its ASCII equivalent which has to be done as DNS is not unicode-aware.

The `xn--` says "everything that follows is encoded-unicode".

Problem

I want to know what the xn-- (domain) -66b.com means in a domain. For example, I bought diseñolatinoamericano.com with ñ. And in mozilla it appears http://xn--diseolatinoamericano-66b.com/ also in Facebook I can't link anything. Thanks!
