if by "working" you mean not only ability to display UTF-8 names but
also the ability to reliably look them up in DNS, send mail to them,
reply to them, and compare them with other UTF-8 names for equivalence,
the list of "working" clients is the empty set.

that's a misimpression.  browsers aren't working either, for any useful
meaning of the word "working".
