Browsers supporting International Domain Names

I know for some time that both IE 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 can support International Domain Names (IDN). However, I can not think of any web sites operated by Chinese domain names that can help me to verify this functionality. Until recently, I noticed the domain name http://雅虎中國.cn/ is activated. Yes, by browsing 雅虎中國.cn, it is proved that both IE7.0 and Firefox 2.0 can handling the DNS resolution of IDN. Together with Opera, the three most popular web browsers in the world are capable of handling IDN.

A logical question comes to my mind. Can Safari of Apple do the same ?
