That was my understanding too, until this last week when I figured out you could.
I'm pretty certain this: and this: are the same rendering, but are different Unicode, and I can register them both as domain names under some TLDs. Google displays them the same in their result pages too.
- bmn__ 5y agoI examined closely and found both are exactly the same, a perfectly valid Latin script run and equivalent to the expression in escape notation "\N{U+74}\N{U+68}\N{U+69}\N{U+73}\N{U+3A}". > perl -C -E'print "\N{U+74}\N{U+68}\N{U+69}\N{U+73}\N{U+3A}"' | hex 0000 74 68 69 73 3a this: HN software likely ate the relevant details you wanted to show, can you please try again and use a notation that survives the HN filter?
- kingcharles 5y agoTry this: https://kingcharles.one/unistrange.html https://kingcharles.one/unistrange.html When I created the file in Notepad it showed the hidden code, but I can register both those as valid domains and Google will show them identically in the SERPs, and Safari will show them both identically in the address bar. Chrome/Edge expands them in the address bar, but will render them the same in HTML. Have not tested on Firefox. If you View Source in Chrome it won't show the hidden code, but if you open the dev tools it will start to break.
