I copy-pasted your url examples(both) and it opened proper page in Firefox, IE9,8,10 and Chrome. So what are you talking about? – Lyford

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!

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.

No longer works in Chrome 93, unfortunately: copying the final https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Аррасская_уния results in Punycode. – Watersick
now you need to put the symbol at the beginning – Endurant

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.

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.)

Since 'COPY URL extension' from drserge's answer is no longer available, you can use this one: Copy Unicode URLs
