In general they don't work with non-ASCII characters.That's the reason
my email is erik at bagfors.nu and not erik at bågfors.nu. That said, more
and more non-ASCII domains are being sold.
For example, look at this page
http://www.nu/svenska/sveriges_kommuner.htm. This is a list of
swedish counties that has åä and/or ö in their names and they have
http adresses like www.Alingsås.nu. So in URLs they can exists,
exactly how they are encoded then I don't know. But theoretically this
should work (bzr branch http://www.bågfors.nu/) if I was ever to
register that domain.
That said, if you register a domain with ååö it seams like you ALWAYS
get the same domain with aao instead. This is what most people use
because it's what works best.
I haven't ever seen an email adress with non-ASCII characters and I
think that's not legal.
All in all. I wouldn't worry about domains or email adresses with
non-ASCII characters. Just assume that they are all ASCII for now.
However, this should work

ps. Interesting thing that I do NOT think you have to care about for
now, but maybe some day in the future.
