dude literally last week i was researching this. what domain registrar do you use to register the domains?

I’ve been running https://xn--i-7iq.ws/ for the last few years... Godaddy should have solid support end-to-end, but it’s supported by other registrars as well

Experimented with quite a few. GoDaddy didn't believe emoji domains existed. .fm keep their emoji domains hostage and ask for $5k/domain. Freenom is totally unreliable. In the end I used ps.kz

So, what is the actual TLD?

    elon@[rocket emoji*]

(technically elon@xn--158h) cannot be delivered through WWW, can it?

So will it be elon@xn--158h.cf, .ga, .gq, .la, .ml, .tk, .st, .fm, .to, .je, .gg, .kz, .com.kz, .org.kz, or .ws **? Or do you have single second level domain and it will be actually subdomains like

    elon@xn--158h.something.cf ?

* HN consistently discards this kind of characters from comments ** list from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji_domain

.kz is the main extension I've opted for.

yeah. iwantmyname recognizes it as input if you enter the unicode version, but most of the lookups fail. anyway you beat me to it! awesome idea.
