Sending SES emails using UTF-8 characters in the address

Question

I was curious if there was any update to this Stackoverflow question but noticed that the original post has been archived and I could not find any details on what is supported by SES in the current documentation.

Basically, is it possible today to send an email to myemail+✖@gmail.com (where ✖ is a UTF-8 character) or is SES still limited by RFC-822 that only supports ASCII characters?

Accepted Answer

From the following document, it seems that you can send an email to a UTF-8 email address by using Punycode encoding.

*Basically, the email address string must be 7-bit ASCII.
