[dns-operations] Emoji "Female" symbol fails to resolve at Google's 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

[James Stevens]

Although the "Female" symbol (U+2640 ♀) is not IDNA2008 compliant, it 
had been sold as a dot-COM some time ago - along with a few other 
"emoji" dot-COM domains.

It used to work fine at Google's resolver service, and works fine at 
other resolvers I tried, but Google now immediately returns "status: 
SERVFAIL"

Anybody know why Google now returns "status: SERVFAIL" for ♀.com 
(xn--e5h.com), but still works fine for ☮.com (xn--v4h.com)


The NS for xn--e5h.com are ...

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
xn--e5h.com.            172800  IN      NS      ns75.domaincontrol.com.
xn--e5h.com.            172800  IN      NS      ns76.domaincontrol.com.

and they are still working fine.
