Fair enough... I mean, emoji domains are not for everyone, right? And, of course, there are all kinds of totally valid concerns about unicode domains in general. I would call it an idea at the beginning of its lifecycle. I guess the question is... since it's supported in iOS, is that enough to kickstart interest, which will then pull in the other browsers? That said, a lot of people are using emojis every day in their communication... seems pretty normal that they'd use them in domains as well, right?

«a lot of people are using emojis every day in their communication... seems pretty normal that they'd use them in domains as well, right?» Many use memes and photos in their communication daily too, so should we have picture domains? www.[some bitmap in base64].com? This unicode domains come with many hazards (phishing, domain hacking, different characters w/ identical form) and inconveniencies (input, blind people not seeing the emoji) and are provided just for the ohs and wows without any concrete benefit to balance these problems.
