HTML5 e-mail input doesn't validate utf-8 in Chrome 39

Issue

I have this element in my form:

<input type="email" placeholder="Enter your e-mail">

When I enter שלום@שלום.com, Google Chrome 39 says:

But why? I thought new e-mail addresses can have UTF-8 characters so that shouldn't be the problem.

Solution

It seems there is a bug in Chrome or HTML specification. Check out these:

• https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=431550
• https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15489

Here is a workaround: use שלום@xn--9dbne9b.com instead of שלום@שלום.com
