It converts a punycode hostname back into readable Unicode form.
It indicates that the hostname uses punycode encoding for an internationalized domain name.
No. IDN decoding is specifically for hostnames, not percent-encoded URL text.
Use it when you want to read a punycode hostname as a normal Unicode domain.
IDN Decode turns punycode into Unicode, while IDN Encode turns Unicode into punycode.
