No it is supposed to render it in 8 bit unicode or failing that ISO, all modern browsers have supported it since 2002 or earlier with the exception of IE that did so via a plugin until IE7.
A lot of punicode domains are rosolving as punicode due to incorrect setup, since there was a rush of American cybersquatters that bought up a lot of common accented names by googling for specific accented characters and buying up the most popular results, and these invariably resolve incorrectly, perhaps since USA keyboards have no extended character support, making working with accented characters difficult.
Think about it like this. if a domain name resolves to another name without an owner intervention like redirection it is pointless. I.e. if ibm dot com resovled to microsoft dot com you might get confused right ? We might as well go back to the 80s and start using net addresses again.
