Unicode URLs!

http://✩.ws/왝

I'm being facetious, of course.  URLs making use of the vast number of Unicode 
glyphs available may allow for heavy length compression, but they're 
obviously not typeable, and if you're clicking or pasting a URL anyway, who 
cares how long it is?

Still, I thought it was funny, and interesting enough to mention.

BTW, I haven't really disappeared, just gotten very busy for a while.  Should 
ease up soon.
