I went looking for evidence of this in Firefox' source code, and found it in their repository 
under these links.
https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/blob/main/netwerk/dns/
effective_tld_names.dat[1]
https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat[2]
Interestingly, neither mentions the use of .internal. Maybe it's a distribution-specific thing?

For LibreOffice, I am seeing their source code mentioned at the links below.
https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/source-code/[3]
I have mirrored this repository into my Gitea instance, under their MPL 2.0 license. It is 
not, however, continuously updating.
https://git.nixmagic.com/mir/libreoffice[4]
Still working on the search there, but if you want to have a kick at it yourself, feel free to 
use my Gitea instance to do so.

For Telegram, I had a chat with some of the people working on Telegram Desktop. They 
mentioned it to be handled on their servers, which is a proprietary component.

But it shouldn't be too difficult to write some code that sends examples for every TLD in 
the PSL and reads back how Telegram formatted them. A well-behaved userbot - one that 
doesn't make it a fire-hose of messages - could easily do that.
