Answer 1

This problem is still not resolved! A couple of years ago I developed a Google Chrome extension that might be useful for you!

COPY URL extension

Advantages:

• supports links copying with Cyrillic
• automatically converts Punycode

When you click "Copy URL” address of open tabs is copied to the clipboard.

I was developing it for myself so the localization is coming soon!

Answer 2

Just add any character and then erase it. After this operation, the copied cyrillic character will not be converted to punycode.

Example. In the address bar "https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Аррасская_уния" -> "https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Аррасская_уния1" -> "https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Аррасская_уния" and then copy it.

Answer 3

As the other answers are currently not working, I use this website as a workaround: https://www.webatic.com/url-convertor.

The URL is put in the lower box (Encoded) and Decode button is pressed.

Answer 4

Recipe:

• Press Ctrl-L for the whole URL to be selected.
• Press Shift-Right to deselect h (or Shift-Ctrl-Right-Right-Left to deselect http:// or https://).
• Copy the selected text.
• Go to the place where you want the text to be pasted.
• Re-typе the omitted part manually if needed.
• Paste the text.

(This works at least in Chrome 93.)
