Unicode domains are interesting.

I registered nick<ninja unicode character>.eth as an ENS domain (which is allowed by the ENS spec[1]). It's pretty hit and miss what services will work with it and what won't. https://xn--nick-ow14c.eth.xyz/ does work though.

I actually had to edit this comment because HN strips the <ninja unicode character> out.

FYI, there is a new ENS normalization spec on the horizon: https://github.com/adraffy/ens-normalize.js

Very nice work!

Just noting that the ".link" "check" link on https://adraffy.github.io/ens-normalize.js/test/resolver.htm... isn't working. Unclear is that is a problem with my domain or with .link
