[dns-wg] IDN registration question (VICTORY)

since I had to do with this in the past, I happen to know how Firefox 
works:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/IDN_Display_Algorithm

The summary -after recursive resolution of all nested document calls- is 
that hieroglyphs are candidate characters for exclusions from identifiers, 
according to the Unicode Consortium:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/#Table_Candidate_Characters_for_Exclusion_from_Identifiers

But your animated gif got a smile in my face.

All the best,
Marcos
