This should indicate that the simplified version .com is blocked due to variant overlap, it is not blocked, actually you own it ! (twilight music in background...)

Does your variant get any traffic ?

What is your domain??? Google does an incorrect translation for the word 'technique'. It interprets technique as 'technology'. I'm not sure about the Japanese meaning though - i would have to take a look at Japanese sites and then obtain the meaning from there.

No one playing with Asian domains can correlate OVT with traffic - since most people do not and do not know about Punycode.

Besides using OVT, i would also check if there is commercial value to the domain, for example, i registered a bunchful of insurance/mortgage related domains in Japanese even though they are phrases, and most had only OVTs of 10k-20k (nothing to shout about).
