Art-One: you can register a URL like this. Use an online converter like this one:
http://www.motobit.com/util/punycode-decoder-encoder.asp
then register the International Domain Name (IDN) equivalent.

So, for example, the domain name of google©.com is actually xn--google-nia.com

If the browser is configured to display the Unicode version of International Domain Name, you will see google©.com whenever you visit xn--google-nia.com. All IDNs begin with "xn--"

The wikipedia article has some great examples of domain names with pictures of telephones or musical notes in them:

yes, but RSS /ATOm has problems reading parsing the idn too.. somethin which needs to be factored in when getting a domain.
