Counter-example about a similar case: the registry of .ws accepts
names with emojis, which are forbidden by the standard (because they
are symbols, not letters). So, anything can happen.

=> https://www.worldsite.ws/idn/emoji.dhtml?sponsor=index.dhtml And they boast about it

(Also, not all name registration goes through a registrar: when I edit
bortzmeyer.org, I can add what I want without any intermediary.)
