    I agree Unicode emojis in URLs it's a really cool idea. I'm pretty sure that would still require database. So using a database is not the direction I would like to go in with this. And if it was using compression to produce an encoding using unicode the first trouble is I'm not really sure how to do that encoding since Unicode is not straight up translating any sequence of bits into characters there are some restrictions and there's all kinds of rules I think and I don't really know how that works and I would like to keep it simple. And the second point is I want to keep it so it's very easy to transport which pretty much means we need to use base64 in my opinion.
