If we assume that somewhere in Unicode a TAFKAP symbol does exist, and Prince made it the only way to get to his web site, I don't think I'd be visiting it since I'd find it very hard to actually type. So your dreams of having a unique web address I think will not be realised by this because the reality is that you will still need a name that people in the English-speaking world can type and put into search engines. It would remain a nice gimmick. The actual use is for sites that have common characters that their user base can actually type.
