I'm trying to setup a host name of xn--n68h.tk on our IIS8 with an emoji (unicode 6 character). When I add it as a binding our IIS stops and when I try to start it I'm getting an "Value doesn't not fall within the expected range" error.

How do I patch our IIS8 to support this?

In case anyone else are looking for this I found the solution. I tried adding the URL as what's called "Punycode" e.g. instead of the "taxi" emoji I explicitly tried to add "xn--n68h".

IIS doesn't like this hence I got the error .. what you should do is simply add the URL as unicode and it will even display the emoji character correctly from within inetmgr.
