The emoji covering up the site name made me wonder if you can have a website url that is literally "https://www.xn--gi8h.com/" ๐ค
edit: Wtf? I cant even display the URL properly. It keeps chsnging the eggplant into random letters when I actually hit post ๐ณ
Welcome to punycode, it's a strange world out here xn--7q8h
It's jist because of the periods encapsulating the emoji, right? The letters in my display name are weird like that, too. They're actually country flags, but if written the right way show up as fat, blue letters instead.
Punycode isn't unicode. It maps to unicode. Thus only Punycode aware AND enabled AND non-filtering URL renderers will show emoji
