Emoji, unicode, non-ASCII .eth names

Open jhxyz opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Emoji, unicode, non-ASCII .eth names result in a 404 page.

ENS is still in discussion on this subject. The outcome of that discussion will inform technical updates to Ethers.js, which is what would power emoji and other special character support on Eth.xyz.

This is related to the underlying ethers.js library we use to resolve ENS names. https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/issues/42

The maintainer has stated that they may not want to support the full UTF-8 character set due to the possibility of homoglyph attacks. That said, ENS themselves support the full UTF-8 character set, so I would think it makes sense for ethers.js to support this as well.
