Description

@annevk reported this one.

```
[13:19] matjas: you around? saw that 1 turns into some Punycode string per http://mothereff.in/punycode but no browser does that, not even Opera
[13:20] matjas: so if that's IDNA2008... well...
```

AFAICT, that’s just the Punycode algorithm doing its thing. I guess browsers normalize the input first?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked mothereff.in/punycode example for the fullwidth digit 1 and comparing its output with browser implementations. Determine the expected normalization behavior under IDNA2008, then consider the issue complete when punycode.js matches browser handling for this input and related cases.
