I’m more interested in the domain name being displayed as several skull and crossbones icons in iOS. I didn’t know icons could be used in a url.

- playpause 7y agoYes, you can use most Unicode in a domain name these days, by using Punycode, but not all browsers support it. In this case, "xn--h4haaaa.ws" displays as "️️️️️<5x skull-and-crossbones emoji>.ws" in certain browsers, including iOS Safari. This site is using a bit of clientside JS [1] to automatically redirect the user from "xn--h4haaaa.ws" to "pixelpirate.club" and vice versa, depending on if your browser supports "Emoji domains" [2].

- jtbayly 7y agoThanks. I suspected the redirect I saw might be related to that since the domain name above obviously wasn’t the same thing I was seeing.
