Mainly homoglyphs. Characters that LOOK like Latin characters but aren't. Scammers register domains to make it look like at a glance you're visiting a reputable site.

It's why many browsers started defaulting to showing "xn--<whatever>" (punycode representation of IDN characters).

It sucks for domains that are emoji but whatevs. Scammers ruining things for everyone, as usual.

Blocking domains with mixed character sets? Might be hard to come up with the rules. But legit sites should stick to one language mostly.
