But doesn’t that require that a system administrator acquire the domain in every writing system (language)
that they intent to support? Who is responsible for disambiguating when one company has a domain name such as SAMPLE in French (ÉCHANTILLON)and Arabic (عينة) and a different company has it in German (PROBE) and Chinese Traditional (示例).

hello,
a little different observation here.
normally, email address with ascii domain will be regarded as alias of email address with idn domain, or email address with idn domain will be regarded as alias
of email address with ascii domain.
both email addresses with ascii domain and idn domain will physically point to the same email box.
in this case, ascii domain and idn domain should resolve to the same IP address in the DNS after the email system administrators configure the two email address as
the alias of each other.
So DNS should do something here.

This is part of the reason several of us find "ASCII domain" and
"[somelanguage] domain" to be such frustrating terms. There is
nothing -- literally, absolultely nothing -- in the DNS that links
these different domains, and no way to express such a link. Different
registries will have different policies which link the names
_administratively_, but nothing will link them technically.
So, the way we should properly explain this is, "That's a different
domain, so if you want to get mail there you need to control it too."
Best regards,
A
