    For most security - centric websites, the right name is ASCII only.

    Are you perhaps by any chance American?

    I’m curious to hear if you think there is a better way.

    I think a much better solution would be to shield end users from this problem entirely, by having all registries refuse to register such confusable names, as recommended by Unicode:

      Yep. Do you all have important URLs with Unicode characters?

      I think it would be great if registries screened registrations for confusable names. Even if they did though, I wouldn’t expect them to succeed 100%
