Have you tried toys yet?

It might be on some person's channel
@WalnutLum
I wonder why using such weird redirection characters!
@PublicLewdness @guix
I'm pretty sure because the actual domain is Unicode japanese.

@WalnutLum
Yeah, I wonder why? Wheren't normal Unicode domains available?
It's perfectly normal unicode. It is merely not English. English isn't the only language, and international domain names and TLDs have existed for over two decades now.
@algernon

@guix
You can switch to a japanese layout, or use a compose key. Or just copy paste. :)
Well, it's a good way to keep out the less determined traffic.
Luckily all internationalized TLDs are translated to punycode so you can type them with ASCII characters
