Oh my god, I did some research
They're selling emoji domains
https://xn--i-7iq.ws/is ground zeroI strongly advise against buying one. It resolves to unreadable asdfgjkl-Hdlslfjrms.tld anyway, which entirely defeats the purpose.
Give your money to a charity instead.
Or give it to me. I will spend it on cigarettes.
@tourist @Wizard_Pope
after I discovered egyptian hieroglyphs have unicode chars bought ๐ .com as a joke last year.
even better a friend bought
๐บ.com
They saddly also resolve to gibberish for me.
@Wizard_Pope oh yeah they do that for everyone. It's a safety feature called puny code.
people were using weird chars to impersonate well known domains for phishing, so if you register a domain using unusual or mixed language characters it renders it as puny code to prevent spoofing.
Yeah I know about the spoofing thing like using cyrilic letters and shit. I just thought hieroglyphs would resolve to actual hieroglyphs
Fuck it just buy one because I want gibberish domains
