That’s quite the URL. Is it named after one of Elon’s kids?
As the other person said, domains beginning with
xn--are non-ASCII domains in Punycode.The real domain is:
マリウス.comToday I learned!
punycode domains fucking rule! registrars ignore the shortening, so you can get a single character domain like ツ.gay for a pittance. there’s some non-english TLDs that resolve through punycode as well. generally they’ll have some SOLID english words that haven’t yet been taken, like butts.移动
i own both of those by the way. ツ.gay will take you to the new onehundredninetysix community, and butts.移动 goes to my favorite youtube video!
I'm so happy it's not Rick Astley's song. I 100% expected you to fool us.
It’s how non-Latin Unicode domain names are encoded, in this case one made out of Japanese characters. I suppose it depends on the browser whether or not it shows them.
