 The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
 option.
+.SH ENCODING
+The string pointed to in the \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP argument is generally
+expected to be a sequence of characters using an ASCII compatible encoding.
+
+If libcurl is built with IDN support, the server name part of the URL can use
+an "international name" by using the current encoding (according to locale) or
+UTF-8 (when winidn is used).
+
+If libcurl is built without IDN support, the server name is used exactly as
+specified when passed to the name resolver functions.
 .SH DEFAULT
 There is no default URL. If this option isn't set, no transfer can be
 performed.
