    Oh my god, I did some research

    They're selling emoji domains

    https://xn--i-7iq.ws/ is ground zero

    I 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.

    @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.
