French characters in bind zone

[Elzey, Blaine A (Blaine)]

I'm not sure if there's a newer method, but I remember working with punycode.  See the RFC here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3492.txt.

Subject: French characters in bind zone

Hi,

I have a customer who wants me to register a domain name containing french special characters (e.g. dcorè.net). How do I create a zone file for such a domain? I created a sample one (which I always use and which always works) but for these french special characters the zone doesn't work (bind simply ignores it). Any ideas on how to implement a zone file for such a domain?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Werner.
