What is the Airplane emoji dot-com domain name?

The “AIRPLANE emoji domain name,” as stored in the dot-com registry, refers to the IDN (Internationalized Domain Name): xn--3bi.com. The “xn--” prefix of the domain name denotes a “punycode-encoded” domain name, one that contains one or more “special characters,” apart from the English (or Latin) alphabet, such as Japanese kanji characters, glyphs and emojis.

How did the Airplane emoji dot-com domain name come into existence?

When IDNs (Internationalized Domain Names) were being introduced on the Internet in 2000 to 2001, internet entrepreneur Gregg N. Ostrick of GNO, Inc. was researching and registering specific key-word Japanese-character domain names. At that time, Ostrick discovered that various other Unicode special characters were also allowed to be registered as dot-com domains, along with Japanese Kanji and other non-English-character domain names.

In April of 2001, Ostrick registered several special-character domain names, including the Unicode Airplane, defined by its Unicode codepoint U+2708, in the Unicode Block “Dingbats,” with its official name as the “AIRPLANE,” established in Unicode 1.1 in 1993. The punycode domain name xn--3bi.com specifically refers to the single Unicode “AIRPLANE” character with the Unicode codepoint U+2708.

What is Unicode?

Unicode is the information technology standard that defines over 140,000 characters, covering 159 modern and historic scripts, symbols, non-visual control and formatting codes… and emojis.

How is the Airplane emoji dot-com domain name able to resolve on the internet?

In 2015, the Unicode AIRPLANE character was adopted in the Emoji 1.0 standard, which transformed the Unicode AIRPLANE domain name into the Emoji AIRPLANE domain, under the Emoji category of “Travel & Places, Air Transport”.

The AIRPLANE emoji domain name is represented in “punycode” as xn--3bi, which is a representation of the AIRPLANE’s Unicode code point. When entering the AIRPLANE emoji with the dot-com extension into your browser’s URL Address Bar, it is interpreted as its punycode domain name equivalent xn--3bi.com

‍Just as punycode is used to represent Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) with characters in various languages, such as Mandarin, Japanese, Korean and other languages, punycode also represents domain names with emojis.
