!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is defined in [RFC 3492] as a way to represent [Unicode] within the limited character subset of [ASCII] used for [Internet] [hostnames].
For [example], "München" (German name for the city of Munich) would be encoded as "Mnchen-3ya".
Using [{$pagename}], host names containing [Unicode] characters are transcoded to a subset of [ASCII] consisting of letters, digits, and hyphen (the Letter-Digit-Hyphen (LDH) subset, as it is called).
[{$pagename}] has been used in [Phishing] [Attacks] to miss-represent [hostnames] which are referred to as [Homograph attack][2] [3]
