Why erōs.com is the correct form
Ἔρως
The name in its original Greek form. A name that carries the full phonetic weight of its source tradition.
EROS
Stripped of its identity, the name was reduced to plain Latin letters. The original orthography — stress, length, breathing — was erased by systems that only understand A-Z.
Erōs
The Unicode restoration recovers what ASCII destroyed. This is philological accuracy — not decoration. The domain encodes to Punycode, but the browser displays the truth.

The non-ASCII characters in Erōs are encoded while the ASCII remains visible. To the DNS, it is Punycode. To humanity, it is Erōs.
