+GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode,
+and IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized
+Domain Names (IDN) working group. It is used to prepare
+internationalized strings (such as domain name labels,
+usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the likelihood
+that string input and string comparison work in ways that make
+sense for typical users throughout the world. The library
+contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode
+3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters,
+and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI,
+Kerberos 5, Nameprep, SASL, and XMPP are included. Punycode and
+ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported.
