Comment (by agulbra):

 This is the first of n test reports for this. All are basically the same —
 do something involving an å using unpatched WordPress 6.8, get a failure,
 do the same thing using this patch, it works. If you like Hindi, you can
 use अ instead of my å, if Chinese…

 The domain grå.org belongs to me. Feel free to send mail there if you
 don't have an IDN yourself. Mail to rød at grå.org lands in my inbox, I won't
 complain, mail to blå@grå.org lands nowhere.

 **Environment:** WordPress 6.8, in my case Brave as browser, both on
 linux, no plugins, WordPress unpacked but the installer has not yet run.

 To pass this test, you need https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/5237 and PHPMailer 6.10.

 **Steps to test:** Open the installer web page. Enter rød at grå.org as the
 admin email address in the WordPress installer.

 **Test results:** All is well if WordPress completes its installation and
 a message is sent to rød at grå.org. With 6.8, the email address is rejected
 and you are told to enter a valid email address.
