Yet another incident <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/with-help-from-google-impersonated-brave-com-website-pushes-malware/> of substituting characters with different diacritic marks in a domain name to fool people into visiting the wrong site. Seems this problem is fundamentally unfixable. We need the ability to represent words in non-English languages, simply because the world does not revolve around the English language. And differences in meanings of words just from mixing up those diacritics can sometimes be quite major.
