I think you may expect way too much from such a simple website

Supporting Unicode characters is too much?

Supporting Unicode characters comes with a set of complications that you may want to address, as, for instance the infamous HTML-parsing with regex rant shows.

As soon as you start trying to address those, the simple problem suddenly grows quite a lot in scope.

This address will not work for obvious historic reasons in Germany.

For the same reason, I hope he doesn't support this emoji https://emojipedia.org/star-of-david/ - or else the service would attract customers he might not want to be associated with...

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(!) :-)

For anyone outside the german-speaking countres: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camps -- In german: Konzentrationslager, abbreviated with KZ. Similarly, never use abbrevations like SS, NS, AH, HH, HJ in Germany. Also, some of these are forbidden on our license plates.

Are Buddhists and Hinduists allowed to use Swastika in Germany?

Yes

This is a fun hack, but there is no way I would get involved in providing any form of commercial email service for $1440 arr. I wouldn't do it for $1440 a _day_. Everything involved with email is pain. I wish you luck.

Wish I'd seen this comment 4 years ago.

Yes they are. The Swastika is a religious symbol, the Hakenkreuz is not.

Take nazi's money and give them a broken email system in return? Sounds win-win to me.
