<p dir="auto">Firefox still presents the lambda sign, doesn't translate it to punycode, Chrome does tho, maybe this should be reported to Chromium devs?</p>

Non-English characters are translated to "punycode" for DNS lookup; if the characters are not part of the standard code page for the locale then Opera displays the punycode form ...</p>
<p dir="auto">Some non-English characters look too similar to - or even exactly like - some English character or another. So that you will know that is not an actual English character, you see the punycode.</p>
<p dir="auto">You notice that isn't ".com" or even ".uk" or one of the more common top-level domains? The more common TLDs prevent people from registering domains using confusing letters. Since they do, Opera would show you λ in <a href="http://xn--wxa.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">λ.com</a> (if there were such a domain), but as .pw makes no assurance about confusing letters you get the unambiguous punycode.</p>
