If i can add some, not sure if Kickstart mentioned
1) most 1 character objects and smiles emoji should have 3-4 characters after the xn-- then the .ws/ Flags are longer and usually have a 77 i the code.
2) Liberia Flag has stripes and looks like US but its not
3) Gender and Skin Tone Emoji may show up in different browsers as character plus tone or gender sign, but in apple especially still appear as one character, and families also. – appear as four emoji in your godaddy account, but typeable in apple as one.
4) The main or person emoji that have an original one are yellow in skin tone, those white, pale, brown, dark brown and darker brown are activated by the user, some may have large identity communities and use, some better for personal brands.
5) If the person emoji is a male – like surfer or female – like info desk or pouting – the emoji plus gender will look the same – but have a much longer code, and not be the one most people use. Wonder who decided that pouting should be a woman. In the futrue each of the yellow ones could be gender neutral, unknown at this time. Some dont have a person just male and female.
6) Like wise to be a man pouting the gender is added, and again shows up as one character in apple
7) Some names will show up on google, in excel and other formats as squares – if they are 2017 emoji, they are still functional and when the browsers update will come alive.
8) not all emoji proposed and given IDN’s were accepted for use – if a deal looks too good to be true, it might be.
9) In my opinion hyrogliphics arent emoji because i think they require a seperate language on your keyboard, or cutting and pasting to use. Im open to education on this.
10) if your on android, update your system and try to get to android 6 or 7. Its a huge difference to be able ot understand how easy it is to type in emoji in emails and webforms if they are on your keyboard, emoji button is right next to ABC and 123
Emoji are the only global, color, graphical IDNS with keyboards on million of smartphones – but also have some quirks so treat them as on beta, but im glad their out there in .ws
The differences in rendering output in browsers, twitter, apple, chrome are no different than if each of these used a different font for english language, its just emoji have more moving parts to look different – the main thing is the root IDNs work on the internet worldwide – and you own the internet address, that each of these vendors converts into emoticon
Hope it helps

Thank you Raymond. What a good way to start off the week. Page – great insight too. You and I should touch base to possibly collaborate. Happy Father’s Day (belated) to everyone.

IMO, While emoji domains are definitely a great novelty item, I’m still not sure how well they will do/adapt to a commercial setting. The majority of consumers probably won’t be able to remember how to type the URL, so that eliminates most type-in traffic from any traditional marketing/advertising campaigns (E.g. business cards, tv commercials, flyers, etc.). However, they do still have potential as hyperlinks somewhere online and search engine indexing. The obstacle of traditional marketing efforts not being practical could hurt this niche from progressing commercially.
