Interestingly it seems http://✪df.ws http://✪df.ws isn't actually valid, even though it exists. ✪ isn't a letter[1], so it isn't allowed in international domain names. I was looking at the latest RFC from 2010 [2] so maybe it was allowed before that. The owner talks about all the compatibility trouble he had after he registered it [3]. The registrar that he used for it, Dynadot, won't let me register any name with that character, nor will Namecheap.

- X-Istence 12y agoIt's the same way with http://💩.la/ http://💩.la/ it gets turned into the following using IDNA: xn--ls8h.la. That is a valid domain name and should be treated as such.
- Buge 12y agoI guess you could argue the definition of "valid". According to the RFC it's DISALLOWED: Those that should clearly not be included in IDNs. Code points with this property value are not permitted in IDNs.
