Why hyperiōn.com is the correct form
Ὑπερίων
The name in its original Greek form. A name that carries the full phonetic weight of its source tradition.
HYPERION
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.
Hyperiōn
The Unicode restoration recovers what ASCII destroyed. This is philological accuracy — not decoration. The domain encodes to Punycode, but the browser displays the truth.
