Ḥr
The name in its original Egyptian form. The original script is preserved in scholarly transliteration systems.

Ḥr
The Unicode restoration recovers what ASCII destroyed. This is philological accuracy — not decoration. The domain encodes to Punycode, but the browser displays the truth.
ḥr.com → xn--r-xnm.com
The non-ASCII characters in Ḥr are encoded while the ASCII remains visible. To the DNS, it is Punycode. To humanity, it is Ḥr.
