KZ is the shorthand for Konzentrationslager, i.e. concentration camp.
i.e. Nazi Death Camp
Doesn't mean that prisoners were expected to be well treated in a concentration camp (typically just well enough to be productive as a slave), but they were not directly sent to the gas chambers.
There's a big downside to using .kz in that the registry has a policy (as per https://nic.kz/rules/ ) that .kz hostnames must relate to "Internet resources" located on hardware and software located within the territory of Kazakhstan. I think the OP is OK as it appears the IP addresses of both the A and MX records are located within Kazakhstan, but something to be aware of if you think registering a .kz is a fun idea(…

Ok, and .kz is the ccTLD for Kazakhstan. You think people can't realize the difference?
You think the average person would know what a ccTLD is or that kz refers to Kazakhstan?

There's a difference between "realising the difference" and "actively wanting it as my internet identity".
Using it as in a vanity domain like we do with .me or .io, on the other hand, will definitely look weird.

Apparently I run https://hanami.run an email forwarding service and I also say that

Email can be really fun, especially with webhook. I build https://pix.fastloop.xyz where you simply email pix@fastloop.xyz a picture to have it show up on the site.
I'm thinking about comment for a static site. Simply send an email to a magic address to comment? Similar to news letter? Anyone like this idea

No, concentration camp. Extermination camps were a subset of concentration camps. Doesn't mean that prisoners were expected to be well treated in a concentration camp (typically just well enough to be productive as a slave), but they were not directly sent to the gas chambers.
Fun idea! But It’s too bad that Kazakhstan’s decision to MITM all HTTPS traffic makes this a nonstarter for actual use https://www.zdnet.com/article/kazakhstan-government-is-now-i...

There must be some demographic which cares. I've personally only seen people amused by it.
How do I know? Many years ago happen to own the single unicode character domain name that was coincidentally very similar to the logo of my website. At some point the registrar informed me that my domain will not be allowed by the NICs rules anymore and they had to cancel it. Made me a bit sad, but it ever was only a novelty anyways.
I’m surprised it doesn’t support emoji in the name field. No @ .kz
When email addresses were standardized, unicode wasn't around. For domains and hostnames we have punycode which maps unicode characters onto the ASCII charset, which is why it works. This does not apply to the user portion of the email address. Emoji as part of the display name should work, i.e. "Emoji"
