This is great!

I've been running into a small issue: this website has no problem generating URLs which are too long for itself:)

For instance, I managed to get the following output:

> https://ooooooooooooooooooooooo.ooo/ooooοооoοᴏοoοᴏοoοᴏooοᴏoᴏ...

which gives me a 414 request URI too large.

    enc = ["o", "ο", "о", "ᴏ"]
    //           006f 03bf 043e 1d0f

оh.

Thanks! I never run into that issue before but I guess there is no workaround, at least not on Cloudflare. They seem to block url larger than 32KB
