This page describes how to use an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) with Cloud DNS.
Create a new managed public zone with an IDN suffix
Cloud DNS lets you create a domain name by using Punycode , which some applications can recognize and render in an international language-specific script.
To see how your domain name visually converts from Unicode characters to the equivalent ASCII-Compatible Encoding (ACE) form, use the IDN converter tool .
To create a new managed zone with an IDN suffix, complete the following steps.
Console
-
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Create a DNS zonepage.
-
For the Zone type, select Public.
-
Enter a Zone name. For example,
my-new-zone. -
Enter a DNS namesuffix in Punycode format for the zone by using a domain name that you own.
For example, for the domain name to appear as
example.ελ, use the IDN representation ofελfor the suffix, which is.xn--qxam. All records in the zone share this suffix. -
Under DNSSEC, select
Off,On, orTransfer. For more information, see Enabling DNSSEC for existing managed zones . -
