The idn program that comes with GNU libidn can do that:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/

It's a command-line utility.  If you want to run it on a Windows
machine, it can probably be built using Cygwin (but don't ask me how--I
know nothing about Windows).

By the way, you need to consider whether you just want the Punycode
encode operation, or the entire ToASCII operation (including Nameprep
etc).  The idn program can do either.

VeriSign's IDN SDK has a nice set of command line utilities in 
both c and Java which can handle this, including pre-built 
binaries for Windows which don't require a Unix emulation layer.

Python 2.3 offers library routines to do that.

Allow me to add that GNU Libidn is supposed to be written in pure ISO C89,
so if you have a Windows compiler that support C, it should be possible to
build without any compatibility layers like cygwin.

An online tool is available from <http://josefsson.org/idn.php>.

IDNs in IE and Google

Hello again,

does anybody know, when Microsoft will implement the new IDN standards in IE
(service pack or something)?

And when is Google planning to index IDNs "correctly" in native characters?

Thanks and good luck,
Georg

RE: IDNs in IE and Google

I'm surprised that Google does not support IDNs. In Poland, the
NetSprint (netsprint.pl) search engine supports the IDNs (NetSprint is
very popular in Poland; NetSprint is the official search engine for the
biggest "internet-portals" like WP.pl or poland.pl)

By the end of 2003, all IDN-web sites (.pl only) has been indexed. 

More (in Polish only)...
