Probably the idnkit you installed does not work for proxied connections.

One big problem is that HTTP is still US-ASCII and requests needs to be
IDN translated by the client before it's sent to the proxy.

Another problem is that client-side IDN support to work proper really
needs to be integrated into the client. It is very unlikely to do anything
on proxied connections otherwise as all the OS knows is that the
application wants to talk to the proxy.

If you refer to http://www.nic.ad.jp/ja/idn/idnkit/download/ then this may
work if you have a client sending the host name in UTF-8 and your Squid is
built with --disable-hostname-checks and the idnkit. (Squid-2.5.STABLE10
or later required.. the --disable-hostname-checks directive was broken and
didn't really do anything in earlier 2.5 releases)
