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.
My domain ends in .me which according to Aliexpress is not real. So instead of me having to manually unsubscribe, they got sent to the huge spam box that is gmail.

I use hello@firstmiddlelast.com I also have firstmiddlelast@gmail.com, and about half the time I tell someone my email address, the send it to the gmail one.
> I setup an email forwarder to route all email sent to .ws to my regular email address. >Eagerly I typed ben@.ws into the "to" field of gmail and hit send. > The email never hit my inbox. It was lost forever in cyberspace. I think this was just caused by Gmail now working when a message is sent and received at the same account. It just disappears. [0] It’s really annoying, it’s not part of a spec, it’s just gmail. I…
In a perhaps apocryphal story, at least one person was fired when a malicious coworker used this to forge harassing emails from the victim.

Mine ends in .by as my surname does as well and people still say "Is that it?" EG if my surname was "Gummersby" my email domain is "Gummers.by"

A friend with a last name that ends in ..skova wasn't so lucky as Vatican doesn't sell domain names.

Not always; that's app-specific, not a system-wide setting.
I think it is system-wide. At least I've not encountered any input field where it doesn't work. Even Microsoft Office, which uses its own input routines, supports it.
But wait... that doesn't actually work (it just switches to the next input layout). Maybe that depends on my keyboard settings in System Preferences. Or maybe it's just a Firefox bug.
I thought IETF had banned emoji domain names after the unicode snowman was registered? ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2035572 )
I did too... I’m assuming some registrars just haven’t properly dealt with this case.

What you say is entirely true. But in practice, this is for fun, no one gonna use their emoji email for anything important. But it's great to have an emoji email to give to medium when they ask for it? Isn't that great.
That's what Dogecoin's creator said. 7 years later it sits at 7 Billion $ market cap and it is a big deal. After all, people pay money to obtain these. Why anybody paying a subscription fee would expect that the product is useless?
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…
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.
The script is easy to extend with new emojis, and also supports selecting alternatives based on which program you had focus on when invoking the keyboard - you can see it using Skype-specific notation for Skype.

Why stop at emojis? Why use the aubergine emoji when you can instead use ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs[1]? There is even an anti-aubergine [2]! In my opinion there is an untapped marked here. And it also is a "full circle" moment - i bet in the next millennium emojis will also be counted as hieroglyphs. 1: https://unicode-table.com/en/130BA/ 2: https://unicode-table.com/en/130B9/
Mentally trying to reconstruct meaning from icons might be a fun recreation, but it is a high-load, annoying waste of time for me when we just need to convey some info. Use your words, or I'm likely to check out at some point.
