Yes, prior to the arrival of IDN names, people have used uebersetzer.de, and still they are using uebersetzer.de when they have no Germanic keyboards.

Using the Umlaut letter + the letter "e" is not considered as an error. It is considered as the proper replacement for the Umlaut character.

The umlaut ß, can be written as double-s (ss) when Germanic keyboard is not available. Except this letter ß, all other umlauts are written as Umlaut letter + "e" when Germanic keyboard is not available.

Börse can be written as Boerse, when no Germanic keyboard is available.

Remember, in domaining Börse.de is a different name, and Boerse.de is a different name.

The ASCII form of Börse.de actually represents xn--brse-5qa.de, whereas the form boerse is already in ASCII form.

Börse.de and Boerse.de are owned by the same company.

Börse means Stock Exchange in German.

Hope this helps!
