He linked a resource that explains visual spoofing, an "attack technique" in which an attacker registers a domain that renders exaclty the same as yours, but actually isn't (because it uses unicode points which render the same --or very similar-- to latin alphabet letters).
I woulnd't go as far as saying "it's a security risk", but on some situations it may lead to weird bugs in which you think you're referring to one constant/variable and you're actually referring to another (visually equivalent/the same) const/var.
