The functions in namespace KIDNA (kdecore/kidna.h) will tell you that.

If a Unicode-hostname is valid, toAscii will return its ACE form; if it's invalid, it \
returns empty. This is what you should know.

You don't have to check if an ACE-encoded hostname is valid -- all ASCII-only \
hostnames are valid, provided they don't break STD 3 rules. toAscii and name \
resolution verify STD 3-compliance.

Anyways, this is not the case here. Just allow the full range of Unicode in the \
server name widget. If the user enters something that is invalid, it will be the same \
as entering a hostname that doesn't exist -- the lookup routines take care of that.
