+### UNDERSTANDS PUNNYCODE / IDN DOMAIN NAMES
+A lot of lists out there put funny domains into their hosts file. Your hosts file and DNS will not understand this. This list uses converted domains which are in the correct DNS format to be understood by any operating system. **Avoid using lists** that do not put the correctly formatted domain structure into their lists.
+
+For instance
+The domain:
+
+`lifehacĸer.com` (note the K)
+
+actually translates to:
+
+`xn--lifehacer-1rb.com`
+
+You can do an nslookup on any operating system and it will resolve correctly.
+
+`nslookup xn--lifehacer-1rb.com`
+
+```xn--lifehacer-1rb.com
+	origin = dns1.yandex.net
+	mail addr = iskalko.yandex.ru
+	serial = 2016120703
+	refresh = 14400
+	retry = 900
+	expire = 1209600
+	minimum = 14400
+xn--lifehacer-1rb.com	mail exchanger = 10 mx.yandex.net.
+Name:	xn--lifehacer-1rb.com
+Address: 78.110.60.230
+xn--lifehacer-1rb.com	nameserver = dns2.yandex.net.
+xn--lifehacer-1rb.com	text = "v=spf1 redirect=_spf.yandex.net"
+xn--lifehacer-1rb.com	nameserver = dns1.yandex.net.
+```
