IDN Domain names where the Unicode contains letters not in the Latin character set

[huwsteadCL]

We seem to have an issue rendering some IDN domains.

We are storing the domains in UTF8 within the domain.dom_unicode_name field.

If the IDN only contains characters with the latin character set (e.g. éxample) then the domain is rendered correctly in a domain query in the RedDog frontend. Conversely if the IDN contains non-latin characters (e.g. Russian / Chinese / Arabic etc) then the RedDog frontend always returns a 404 Object not found error.

Not sure if this is some mis-configuration on our end or a genuine bug in the current implementation

I don't have that issue, my local server can display japanese and arabic characters.
If you are using mysql, try adding the following queryparam to your connection.
characterEncoding=UTF-8
e.g.

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/rdap?useSSL=false&characterEncoding=UTF-8

Thanks for that.. we did indeed not have the UTF-8 param set on our connection :(
