This is one of the shadiest looking links I've ever seen. No way am I clicking that.
The actual url is https://šime.eu/3
It's called Punycode.
Exactly, in some contexts it is displayed like this to mitigate homograph attacks, where someone creates similar looking URLs for phishing purposes. Nothing shady about Punycode by itself, but it's good to be aware of homograph attacks. Internationalized domain names (IDNs) are cool :)
