Some more silly Punycode domain names

You know how it is, you buy one silly domain name and then you get an idea for loads more! A few weeks ago, I got https://⏻.ga/ - I think I'm the first person to get a domain name which uses a glyph from the Miscellaneous Symbols Unicode block. How exciting! And that got me wondering… what other abuses of the Punycode algorithm can I whack into DNS? Well, here's some I whipped up using FreeNom …

You can even have emoji in domain-names using Punycode¹. That means you can add

127.0.0.1 xn--s78h

to your /etc/hosts and then all your dev servers can be accessed at http://🚽

@gumnos @pmjv @dexter today I learned about punycode!

And punycode has me thinking about learning to program. Implementing punycode (both ways) seems like a great class assignment, or way to learn Unicode. You’d have to understand Unicode, detailed parsing and calculations, state management… it’s all there!

Or you could use wildcard DNS to make a URL shortener, and have https work:

@ivory there is a bug in your domain matching, this should be a link 😂🫣🫠

@Schrank Not a bug. We use NSURL which doesn't natively support it.

@Schrank well, a lot of other things in that app have bugs, so it is indeed surprising 😂

Ah yes, punnycode.

@pmjv I'd not be surprised if the most commonly used one out there was the padlock, sometimes used to illustrate the value of "only trust the site if there's a padlock in the address bar" and similar guidelines.
