Returns:

Encoded string.

Throws:

IDNAException

toUnicode

public static String toUnicode(String input)

Converts an ASCII-encoded string to Unicode. Unassigned characters are not allowed and STD3 hostnames are enforced. Input may be domain name containing dots.

Parameters:

input - ASCII input string.

Returns:

Unicode string.

toUnicode

public static String toUnicode(String input,
               boolean allowUnassigned,
               boolean useSTD3ASCIIRules)
