I also own a four character domain too, but the domain part is a single Unicode character and HN seems to strip it from text here. The punycode version is xn—x

- jsjohnst 6y agoYep! I chose it as the domain’s total character length is 4 (when visible in a browser obviously, not in punycode form) and the recycling symbol felt appropriate for url shortening. I hosted it on Bitly (hence you see a Bitly landing page if the short url doesn’t exist). I don’t use it as much anymore because of the previously mentioned Unicode filtering some sites use, like HN.
