This is just spreading FUD. No halfway serious online trader types
in the broker address every time he trades. For that, there are
things such as bookmarks and autocompletion.

Also, if it were true, there would be a lot of law suits related to
this because currently in Japan, only half-width ASCII (and not the
full-width equivalents) work for domain names. And because the 'fi'
ligature doesn't work with domain names (but it will with nameprep
as currently defined).
