𓃕𓃕𓃕.eth not resolving properly. Could I be refunded for this name?

That is due to a known issue in the ENS metadata service: https://github.com/ensdomains/ens-metadata-service/issues/71

Currently the metadata service is incorrectly labeling all sorts of valid characters as invalid.

Devs are working on updating the normalization rules for ENS: ENS Name Normalization - #90 by raffy

The code is not final, but you can get a good idea of what will be considered valid with this live demo tool: ENS Resolver

That name 𓃕𓃕𓃕.eth was valid before, and looks like it will remain valid:

So most likely after the normalization changes are finalized and rolled out everywhere, the metadata for your name should be fixed, and OpenSea/etc should be able to list it with no problems!

FYI there are cases of other names that will be invalid after the changes (like your primary name β˜₯β˜₯β˜₯). I don’t think anything has been finalized or announced yet, but I expect that ENS will issue refunds for such names. That is one of the objectives laid out by the lead dev here: ENS Name Normalization - #20 by nick.eth

  1. Where a new function affects the normalisation of an existing name under (1), ENS should register the new normalisation and configure it as a duplicate of the previous name where possible. Where this is not possible, ENS should refund the user any registration costs, and make best efforts to make the user aware of the upcoming change.

  2. Where a new function makes previously valid labels invalid, and there are affected names that aren’t clearly abusive, ENS should refund those users their registration fees, and make best efforts to make the user aware of the upcoming change.
