OK, I looked it up, and I was almost certainly wrong. The relevant
RFCs are actually 6531 (SMTPUTF8 extension), 5890 (IDNA), and 3492
(Punycode). IDNA allows "U-labels" (UTF-8), which we can gracefully
extend to, and "A-labels" (encoded using Punycode, which uses the
ASCII repertoire). AFAICT (haven't really looked carefully), Punycode
uses only letters, digits, and the hyphen ("-").
So I withdraw the comment.
RFC 5890 can be used for the domain name part. The issue would be
about what to do for the local part. If I recall correctly, the
question was not discussed as part of RFC 6531. I suggest taking a
look at RFC 7564.
