So last night I discovered on accident that you can use obscure unicode characters in URLs.
For instance this lovely face -> ಠ_ಠ
The logical step was to make this -> www.KolyaVenturi.com/ಠ_ಠ
So then I took this guy -> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
And made this glorious thing -> www.KolyaVenturi.com/( ͡°͜ʖ ͡°)
Neither of these serve any kind of a purpose, and they're both incredibly simple to do. But, having the actual emoticon in the URL is kinda fun :P
I need a life.
EDIT: Oh god you can use emoji... -> (But apparently they filter it out on the forums so.. click here)

For those of your wondering, the server runs on Express.js so I use a router system. Basically the web browser encodes the URL, and sends the encoded data to my server, so I can't just put the unicode characters directly in the code.
The router for the first one isn't that bad
The second one however was more interesting...
The router for the first one isn't that bad
Code:
router.get('/%E0%B2%A0_%E0%B2%A0', . . .
Code:
router.get('/\\(%E2%80%84%CD%A1%C2%B0%CD%9C%CA%96%E2%80%84%CD%A1%C2%B0\\)'
