I think that I'm missing something.

General question:

can such emoji domain names be used as well for normal URLs for webbrowsers? (I guess "yes", but then why does the article focus that much only on email-addresses?)

If yes, does anybody have any example? (I'm testing a web-crawler => I would like to test it against such emoji-domains...)



Yes, but it will likely show up as punycode in the browser address bar, for example http://xn--938h.to

And sadly, you can't post emoji on hackernews comments :(


Thank you (http://xn--938h.to/ seems to perform a redirect? I see "meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='https://webcoliving.com/japanese.html'" /").

I was anyway hoping for that (I'm happy as it doesn't screw up the address bar with some kind of emoji that look like real chars).

Anyway, if somebody has examples of any (even slightly) (technically) hardcore domain names then please post => thaaank you :)
