As with so many things domain name related, what is or is not valid varies by
and is determined by registrar. The biggest registrars (.com,.net,.org as

wish.

Hmm, I wonder if that's going to be the next battle field for URLs: Facebook
will try to register its logo as an emoji, and you'd just need to go to
[http://[f]](http://\[f\]) to open their site.

There already is an emoji for apple (the fruit, not the company). Oh the
horrors. I should start an emoji NIC!

These would be less than convenient to type, but perhaps as we go more and
more towards a non-typing web where a walled-garden start page and predefined
links lead to the most popular sites with a click, these URLs will become
fashionable. I think if so, this will herald the impending death of the human-
read and typed URL in favor of start page links and search results.
