I've been thinking about creating a url shortener and a short url similar to http://✪df.ws/ would be ideal as no one will ever have to manually type the symbol.

I tried to register a domain with a heart ♥ on a few of the more popular domain name registrars, but upon submitting I was told that the domain name contained invalid characters.

How do I search and register a domain with one of these symbols or characters?
