The day I discovered you can use obscure characters in URLs...

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
Code:
router.get('/%E0%B2%A0_%E0%B2%A0', . . .
The second one however was more interesting...
Code:
router.get('/\\(%E2%80%84%CD%A1%C2%B0%CD%9C%CA%96%E2%80%84%CD%A1%C2%B0\\)'
