Why is everyone thinking so small? What about https://www.goоgle.com?

Or how about the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

Not sure why you're getting downvited, people seem to have missed your clever use of the Cyrillic "o".

Why is the Cyrillic "o" even a separate glyph/charcode, even though it looks like a regular "o"?

Probably because it is rotated 360°.

Because it looks like an "o" in Verdana, but it could look different than the "o" in an other font.

Would it be possible to register a .xn--cm-fmc TLD and have a .cоm registry all of your own?

Stupid question, how did you do that? What characters are you using?

I frequently have to deal with lots of scientific, mathematical, and many other unusual characters.

I use http://unicode-table.com to help figure out what's what. The official Unicode specifications[1] is impenetrable, and it's really hard to deal with.

Second "o" is in fact Cyrillic "о" which looks indistinguishable from Latin "o" (unless you use some weird font without Cyrillic letters).
Re:Watch out: ɢoogle.com isn’t the same as Google.com by vbezhenar on Monday November 21, 2016 @09:04AM (#13005406)
I think, it's impossible to register this domain.
Re:Watch out: ɢoogle.com isn’t the same as Google.com by StavrosK on Monday November 21, 2016 @09:28AM (#13005591)
Considering it's already registered, I'd say it's possible:

https://whois.domaintools.com/xn--gogle-kye.com

Thanks, I was wrong. That's even worse than I thought.

It looks like Google got all lookalikes, because I just tried with a Greek ο and that's also registered by them.
