I'm getting the below when running dehydrated. Any advice?

@lukas2511 commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2018):

Usually this happens for one of two reasons:

1: You actually have invalid characters in your domain name
2: You are using a heavily outdated version of dehydrated

I'm closing this as this seems like a duplicate to me. If you think otherwise please provide some more information like the output of dehydrated -v, your config and domains.txt.
