Around 2020, I think tools like Notion (notion.so) made it popular. Even the Huggingface itself is an emoji...
I remember when someone registered (poopemoji).la
https://xn--ls8h.la/
It does show up as the poop emoji followed by .la in google search results, but not in a firefox address bar.
>but not in a firefox address bar.
That is by design (on Firefox's part) to avoid someone registering e.g. steаmpowered.com (notice а as U+0430 instead of a as U+61) and running a scam that looks valid on the address bar.
Yes absolutely to avoid phishing sites with idn homograph, homoglyph attacks. Personally I'd like to see the punycode first then the emoji
