A few questions about ❀ ✿

• Can you see ❀ in the address bar?
• What significance does ❀ have in Japan? Other countries?

I noticed that my Japanese dictionary uses ✿.

Re: ❀

I can see a box character. It's the same default character I see when there is no font available to render the character in question. For example, if I paste Chinese domains into the input box of a Japanese dictionary site, some render as a box indicating they don't exist in Japanese (even though they are valid characters in Chinese).

Re: ❀

I see them just fine. They look like a 5 petalled flower. One darker one lighter in shade.

Re: ❀

Figured it out.

Apparently, in Korean fonts the white one displays differently though.

I hope they have the IDN registered! Because they show on their website!
