Emoji Domains

Seems like it uses Punycode to register, which porkbun and dynadot can do. I have domains using Chinese and RtL characters, which are punycode, so this should be just as doable. You just have to snag the punycode that is most widely accepted for a emoji, which probably an HTML character list can tell you, like https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_emoji.asp. Better get on it!!

- entering an emoji into a subdomain on cloudron results in "Bad location: Hostname is not a valid domain name"
- entering into my dns provider results in xn--s38h
- entering xn--s38h into a sudomain on cloudron result is: installing
- https://.nebelcloud.de/
check.

@luckow I still see xn--s38h in the url bar. Is that because firefox on android does not support emoji in the location bar?

Safari on iPad does show it, how funny.

@girish I dont see it on Brave browser (basically chrome) on macOS.

Behind every cool feature there is some security issue - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack#Client-side_mitigation . Pretty much confirms that only safari went to some length to show the emoji because it is not part of attack vector.

What blasphemy is this and why haven't I heard of it till now?

Yeah, slightly old news for me, but I found very few useful cases for it other than a gimmick.
Customers won't like typing punycode either, they'd do a shortURL way before that followed by a barcode/qr code.
The Indieweb people use one for their Indiewebring
