Spotted this in one of my accounts today.  Lots of users with the language set to Secret.ɢoogle.com You are invited! Enter only with this ticket URL. Copy it. Vote for Trump!

Clever. Not seen language used before. Also the G of "Google" is not a g but an international character.

I used to own domains that were one character different via unicode options, but looked identical to the following.

google.com
yahoo.com
aol.com
msn.com
bing.com

I never did anything with them but always had plans to. I eventually dropped them when browsers natively changed unicode characters to punycode in the address bar.
