    It’s not really a “strange url” it’s just the way we decided to implement unicode into URLs, which for the purposes of phishing links is catastrophically dangerous, so it’s never really been widely adopted and most sites choose by default to show the raw URL, for safety. This is why we can’t have nice things (and instead need to have xn-dfg344jlb5jsdfl543sdfsd.com)
