Thats odd because if I copy http://www.əɛ.net/ from Mozilla's
navigation bar to the clipboard and paste it into MS Word or Windows
Notepad it remains as http://www.əɛ.net/ and if I look in Windows XP
Clipbook viewer it is also correct - so Mozilla, at least the version
I'm using, seems to be copying to the clipboard OK.
I *do* get problems if I paste or type this URL into the IE 6 navigation
bar. The text of the URL displays OK in the navigation bar but, almost
immediatly, Internet Explorer just comes up with "Cannot find server The
page cannt be displayed. The page you are looking for is currently
unavailable" etc. - mind you I don't have the Verisign add-in installed.

Subsequent to writing the above I've installed Mozilla 1.7.3 en-GB build
and atill have no problem going to http://www.əɛ.net/ or copying the URL
to the clipboard. Exactly the same results as with v1.7.
