I bought the punycode domain {emoji_rabbit}.to (i.e. "hop to") intending to build a url shortner. But I never did anything with it and let it expire. And now it doesn't seem like .to even lets you buy emoji domains anymore. I kind of wish I had held on to it.

I can confirm that emoji domains for `.to` are still supported, I believe most of them are taken by now, though. You can use https://register.to to check.

Huh, looks like you're right. I distinctly remember getting an error for emoji domains but not normal ones. I might have made an incorrect assumption from that. Either way I've accepted I'm never getting that domain back.
