## 2. AI Search

The [SNS search bot](http://v1.sns.id/generate-with-ai) has some awesome capabilities that really take the thinking out of your domain search. The bot allows you to add topics of interest and it'll go ahead and generate name ideas that have not yet been registered

## 4. Disclaimer: Certified Emojis & Variation Selectors&#x20;

Certain emojis or domain names can include a variation selector (unicode): **U+FE0F** or **U+FE0E**, which is used by your browser to know whether the emojis should be displayed as texts or images. However, some emojis are displayed the same as text and image. This can lead to people owning different domain names that read the same (e.g 😀  with and without a variation selector).&#x20;

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th>EmojiT</th><th width="386.66666666666663">Text</th><th>Image</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Emoji</td><td>Text</td><td>Image</td></tr><tr><td>Grinning Face</td><td>😀</td><td>😀</td></tr><tr><td>Scale</td><td>⚖️</td><td>⚖</td></tr></tbody></table>

Some people may use these unicodes to scam and mislead buyers. That is, selling a domain name that perceives to be legitimate by eye, but after inspection, prevails to be a domain with a fake version of an emoji, for example.

**In an attempt to prevent users from getting scammed by these domains, the marketplace by default does not show domains with suspect unicodes, unless searched for directly and our site wikl display a warning sign.**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Currently emoji domains are following the Unicode Consortium 15.1.0**
