    Blåhaj.

    I hold down the ‘a’ key and you can select it on Gboard. But your point stands, I don’t expect everyone to make the effort of finding alternate language options.

      Also if I’m typing it, I’m referring to the domain name, which I don’t think allows special characters. (Just thinking of registered DNS names allowing all ISO character sets, that would be a scammers paradise.)

        Generally it’s called punycode and is encoded as xn–SOMETHING. Browsers mostly mitigate those scammer paradise tricks by rendering the punycode domain as intended only if it contains characters from a single script. Like if it contains an å, then only other characters from languages that also have å are allowed.
