For some reason, Proxmox ties VM names to domain names; there have been a few issue that address this limitation:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/about-vm-name.86041 and possibly https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/impossible-to-add-domain-with-à-into-domain-name.144738/, https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/umlaute-in-domain-namen.75712/

While you can obviously name a VM using Punycode explicitly, for de-uglification this should be supported implicitly and transparently:
  • When creating a VM, transform the name to Punycode under-the-hood
  • In the VM window title, display its back-translated Unicode name
  • In the VM search box, accept Unicode and translate to Punycode under-the-hood
  • In VM lists, display their back-translated Unicode names
  • ...?
