    Hi all, just found out about Emoji domains https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji_domain

    Is anyone here using one of them on Cloudron?

    Genuinely did not know this was a thing. Definitely don't have one, but now I kind of want to come up with an excuse to buy one. No idea which registrars even support them though

    I think you could try it with an emoji-subdomain, without buying anything

    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 ๐Ÿ˜ฑ into my dns provider results in xn--s38h
    • entering xn--s38h into a sudomain on cloudron result is: installing
    • https://๐Ÿ˜ฑ.nebelcloud.de/

    @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.

    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.

    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.
