You cut off the important part of my reply, which specifies that the
names are percent-encoded or punycoded... here are some examples, all
work in Amfora, AV-98 and Lagrange (probably Bombadillo too):

gemini://blekksprut.net/%e6%97%a5%e5%b8%b8%e9%91%91%e8%b3%9e/ (a
friendly client could choose to display this as
gemini://blekksprut.net/日常鑑賞)

gemini://xn--td2a.jp/ (a friendly client could choose to display this as
gemini://蛸.jp/)

Even in the simplest of user-agents, these URIs work, and more advanced
clients clients can choose to display them in more user-friendly ways.
