So the SSAC report , in this case, says because everything doesnt work exactly right, lets warn and not allow any emoji new tlds (to the right of the dot)
This could be the moment like with Bitcoin went before Congress, who held hearings and warned on the risk of Bitcoin, and that moved everyone to say what is bitcoin... and led to huge popularity
some of the assumptions are spot on on why the marketplace is moving toward these names
REPORT: Emoji are “pictographs (pictorial symbols) that are typically presented in a colorful cartoon form and used inline in text
my thoughts yup, pretty cool
REPORT They are popular on smartphones, in chat, in email applications, and in social media, where they are part of a trend toward pictorial forms of communication to augment (or replace) text
my thoughts - so lets definately keep them out of the internet naming system, we only allow changes when we make $300,000,000
and then this pretty accurate summary -
REPORT - Some country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs), e.g., .WS (Samoa) and .LA (Laos), allow domain names with emoji to be registered at the second level, and several registrars accept labels with emoji for registrations in other TLDs. Since 2011, at least one browser displays any emoji it recognizes when they appear in domain names, although other browsers continue to show the ASCII A-labels instead
ME - cool which browser? BTW .LA does not currently allow emoji, does have some grandfathered including the poop emoji..
REPORT - Since most applications implement either the current version of IDNA (IDNA2008), the obsolete previous version (IDNA2003), or some locally synthesized combination of the two, the practical implication is that domain names with emoji will not be accepted or processed consistently by applications.
me - so not universal, growing pains, and these workarounds work pretty good in most cases, i think of emoji in beta when it comes to use right now, - you have keyboards, browsers and different rendering but each domain name still resolves to one set of nameservers...even if some outputs look the same... whic of course could change if the base person emojis become different than the genders. funny how pouting was assumed to be a woman, ...
so looks like emoji will stay out of new and existing global tlds until its ready for prime time.
and the market will move toward education and more and more use, with disclaimers for beta and not the same level of complete universal resolution...im in.
