Fortunately, all of my names passed and I was

PUNYCODE is shown instead of the actual
characters intended.
Only for characters that are not part of a national alphabet, I believe?
This one works fine: http://rugbrød.ch/
Not for me. It translates to:
xn--rugbrd-fya.ch
Besides, many domain registrars also limit the available characters to
those that are part of a national alphabet.

National alphabet? Never heard of it -- what Nation?
Are the Greek letters Sigma, Delta, Pi part of
this "National alphabet"? While they are common
in our English language, I don't think they are
not included.
In addition, many registrars are clueless about
IDNS, Char Sets, and what is legal and not. Plus,
the are many differences between different TLD
registrars. For example, the TLD COM can have
single characters whereas the ORG will not allow
single characters regardless of language
(including ASCII).
The IDNS is still in a state of flux.
