Google

Google or ɢoogle? It may seem the same, but one is the well-known search engine and the other is a fake domain created by a Russian.

How is this possible?? Not bad, If you look, the first letter of ɢoogle may look like a G, but it's really not. This ɢ is, in fact, the Latin version of the lowercase letter G. Visually it is almost identical, but for the computer it is represented by a totally different code, so it can be used to register domains on the Internet.
