I went to [lightbulb-emoji].kz and it transformed to http://xn--ds8h.kz

Does it? I am in stock gnome and this shortcut isn't bound by default. What distro are you using?
I believe it has to be a GTK app - which almost none of the things I use on a daily basis are. Try in gedit or something like that. My daily drivers are IntelliJ, Firefox, Chrome, and Terminator so it's not super useful to me... :'(

Yeah. Try using wildcard email accounts together with a uncommon TLD, and people ask me if I work at their place all the time. Last time I booked a car at Hertz: > Me: My email is hertz@capableweb.work > Agent: Woah, you work here at Hertz? That's so cool > Me: sure, can you remind me of the employee discount again? So many email validations fail with a uncommon gTLD that I started switching everything to a .com doma…
As a security person its hard as heck training (some of) our users to understand how basic domain formats work. We use a phishing simulation service, and outside of certain content,putting part or all of our company name in the domain but adding other words/underscores/etc is what tricks a lot of people. I tend to explain how it works in a basic format, and often you can see the light bulb go off when I point out how…
The customer's words echoed in his mind. 'robert at lightbulb emoji dot kz, but with a real lightbulb emoji.' The clerk had registered thousands, maybe tens of thousands of e-mails into the Nordstrom Rack Nordy Rewards program, and he had seen it all, but this, this was something entirely new. This wasn't the single letter username or the overly sexual address or the gmail address with the plus sign, all mildly inter…
I use an email address that ends in .io and the amount of people that still ask me ".io? are you sure that's correct?" never ceases to amaze me.

I thought it was clever, but people do not understand them. Everything is .com in their mind.

By the way, we already have an "emoji button" on our keyboards: on Windows, it's the Win+. keystroke. Try it if your Windows 10 is updated enough.
A couple of alternatives for Linux users. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBus#Emoji_input The kitty terminal emulator supports this out of the box (it also works on two other platforms): https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty Ctrl+Shift+U opens a Unicode input panel with fuzzy search by symbol code or name.
Just put something like

Yes, you have to put all the emojis you want there manually, but I use very few of them so it works for me.
EDIT: HN removed the emojis from my snippet. The double quotes there contained smiling face, thumb up, and thumb down.

I think you may expect way too much from such a simple website
I am very thankful that it’s not supported
At present, this can be done by following any emoji character with the text variant selector, U+FE0E [1] (the example works perfectly on Firefox on KDE).
Later, it will be possible with CSS [2].

Hell, booking.com will even tell you that "your address looks incorrect" (sometimes, I got it once out of two bookings made on a single day), if you dare to use your own domain .com. They used to nag me about "ohh, are you sure it's not tadzik_@gmail.com"? And I'm not sure what's worse.

Indeed. But if you ask the whole world (as we're on the internet), 1% might recognize it as "Konzentrationslager", 2% might recognize it as Kazakhstan and the rest have no idea. So for general internet usage, I think it's fine. We're not modelling the internet after German customs after all.
No we're modelling the internet after US customs, which is why boobs are banned from mainstream Internet services and have to hide in the porn. I'm not sure we're better off.
But there are other webs out there, speaking many different languages and carrying many different customs. The beauty is that if you don't like US customs, you can usually find communities that are far away from US culture.
I'm still don't know why emoji's are a thing.
People like to communicate their emotions through cute pictograms, it's not difficult to understand.
