I just spot checked Chrome (Mac and Android), Firefox, and Safari, and all of them displayed emoji names in URI domain names as A-labels. If you want to try it, I have a handy wildcarded link farm. In all of my browsers, this one displays as three random Chinese characters: http://xn--google.web.sp.am/ This one is a lock emoji followed by "google" and displays as an A-label. http://xn--google-hj64e.web.sp.am/ This one is two piles of poop, also displays as an A-label. http://xn--ls8ha.web.sp.am/ If you want to try other stuff, http://<anything>.web.sp.am will return a live harmless web page. Also see this M3AAWG BCP from last year, based on what Google does, but endorsed by and I believe implemented by other M3AAWG members: https://www.m3aawg.org/sites/default/files/m3aawg-unicode-best-practices-201...
