Blåhaj.
I hold down the 'a' key and you can select it on Gboard. But your point stands, I don't expect everyone to make the effort of finding alternate language options.
Also if I’m typing it, I’m referring to the domain name, which I don’t think allows special characters. (Just thinking of registered DNS names allowing all ISO character sets, that would be a scammers paradise.)
Generally it's called punycode and is encoded as xn--SOMETHING. Browsers mostly mitigate those scammer paradise tricks by rendering the punycode domain as intended only if it contains characters from a single script. Like if it contains an å, then only other characters from languages that also have å are allowed.
They do now! Blåhaj.world (might not work in old browsers)
