Any thoughts on this one? It won't really get type-in traffic because it is really no longer in use. It's cute. However, is it worth developing? It might work for Japan or other 'J' keywords.

Greek letter yot, yod, or yodh (depends on where you look)

Unicode 03F3 if you need confirmation...

... replaced by "ι" ( pronounced: iota or yota )

Can't see it having any value. The domain looks too much like a 'j' (letter 'jay') and would be highly confusing for people. If this character is on a non-english country keyboard then I suppose it could be targeted to them although I doubt it as the same argument would still apply.

Good point! On the good side, there is no j (jay) dot com out there, so it could never be confused as a phishing site for j dot com. By default, I think it is the only domain that could become jay dot com.

It seems more like a vanity domain, no better or worse than a symbol/wingding/dingbat domain. Since my name starts with a J, I have no problem using it for myself. Just wondering if it has any other value....

Yes, fair comment, hope it goes well for you.

Thank you! It will just go on my trophy shelf with a handful of symbols and my little 1¢.com domain. I just couldn't resist it.
