Recently while testing my application I stumbled upon the possibility to change the computer name of a windows device (probably also possible with unix and any other OS but did not test with that) to contain an emoji ().

Now I started to wonder if I would run into trouble if I would configure a host name of an endpoint in my AD to contain an emoji.

I know its probably bad practice to use such characters in the host name, but I was wondering if it was reasonable to expect such host names (e.g. if I would be implementing some sort of endpoint library).

It depends. But in today’s world, I’d say yes, you need to be able to deal with not just emojis, but any sort of character covered by Unicode.
