+# punycode
+
+    Stability: 2 - Stable
+
+[Punycode.js][] is bundled with Node.js v0.6.2+. Use `require('punycode')` to
+access it. (To use it with other Node.js versions, use npm to install the
+`punycode` module first.)
+
+## punycode.decode(string)
+
+Converts a Punycode string of ASCII-only symbols to a string of Unicode symbols.
+
+```js
+// decode domain name parts
+punycode.decode('maana-pta'); // 'mañana'
+punycode.decode('--dqo34k'); // '☃-⌘'
+```
+
+## punycode.encode(string)
+
+Converts a string of Unicode symbols to a Punycode string of ASCII-only symbols.
+
+```js
+// encode domain name parts
+punycode.encode('mañana'); // 'maana-pta'
+punycode.encode('☃-⌘'); // '--dqo34k'
+```
+
+## punycode.toASCII(domain)
+
+Converts a Unicode string representing a domain name to Punycode. Only the
+non-ASCII parts of the domain name will be converted, i.e. it doesn't matter if
+you call it with a domain that's already in ASCII.
+
+```js
+// encode domain names
+punycode.toASCII('mañana.com'); // 'xn--maana-pta.com'
+punycode.toASCII('☃-⌘.com'); // 'xn----dqo34k.com'
+```
+
+## punycode.toUnicode(domain)
+
+Converts a Punycode string representing a domain name to Unicode. Only the
+Punycoded parts of the domain name will be converted, i.e. it doesn't matter if
+you call it on a string that has already been converted to Unicode.
+
+```js
+// decode domain names
+punycode.toUnicode('xn--maana-pta.com'); // 'mañana.com'
+punycode.toUnicode('xn----dqo34k.com'); // '☃-⌘.com'
+```
+
+## punycode.ucs2
+
+### punycode.ucs2.decode(string)
+
+Creates an array containing the numeric code point values of each Unicode
+symbol in the string. While [JavaScript uses UCS-2 internally][], this function
+will convert a pair of surrogate halves (each of which UCS-2 exposes as
+separate characters) into a single code point, matching UTF-16.
+
+```js
+punycode.ucs2.decode('abc'); // [0x61, 0x62, 0x63]
+// surrogate pair for U+1D306 tetragram for centre:
+punycode.ucs2.decode('\uD834\uDF06'); // [0x1D306]
+```
+
+### punycode.ucs2.encode(codePoints)
+
+Creates a string based on an array of numeric code point values.
+
+```js
+punycode.ucs2.encode([0x61, 0x62, 0x63]); // 'abc'
+punycode.ucs2.encode([0x1D306]); // '\uD834\uDF06'
+```
+
+## punycode.version
+
+A string representing the current Punycode.js version number.
