I tried to go one character smaller, by using the combined unicode character "⒕", in an attempt to eliminate the ".". I combined it with the "ms" TLD, which can also be represented a the single character. Unfortunately all the browsers I tested refuse to treat it as a domain name without a full stop, so I'm stuck using the three character http://⑭.㎳/ http://xn--1rh.xn--ryk/ instead of the two character http://⒕㎳/ http://xn--6sh056c/ I was hoping for. On the bright side, even the three character version is unlinkable on facebook -- it just redirects me to http://invalid.invalid/ http://invalid.invalid/. I'll take that as a win. I still managed to get a pretty cool domain name for around $40, and it was definitely fun to mess around with this idea. EDIT: Interestingly, HN has automatically punycoded the URLs. That should be ⑭.㎳ and ⒕㎳
