Description

It would be nice if [IDN domains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name) could be displayed in Unicode format when listing verified domains.

Currently Keybase website displays them using ascii punycode like shown in attached screenshot.

Eg. [Punycode.js](https://github.com/bestiejs/punycode.js) library could be used for conversion.

Research direction

The request concerns how verified domains are rendered on the Keybase website; start by locating the verified-domain listing and its IDN formatting path. Check the Punycode.js option mentioned in the issue, and consider the work done when internationalized domains display in Unicode format instead of ASCII punycode.
